Gloria Kyengo – Social Media Management, Digital Marketing

Hi, I am Gloria Kyengo. A graduate armed with a degree in Development Studies from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. I initially envisioned a career taking shape within the structured walls of an office. For the longest time, I never imagined myself working from home, let alone doing a different career other than what I pursued on campus. Little did I know that my professional journey would take an unexpected turn towards the thriving world of virtual assistance.

My exposure to the remote work sphere commenced as an academic writer. This opportunity served as a gateway to a newfound appreciation of the flexibility and autonomy that came with working from home. The experience broadened my perception prompting me to explore alternative career paths beyond the normal 9- to-5 routine. I eventually secured an administrative assistant position that offered a hybrid work model where I offered a wide range of administrative roles deepening my understanding of virtual working. This phase in my career not only enhanced my proficiency in virtual assistance but also solidified my passion for the dynamic nature of the role. Later came another part-time opportunity for me to work remotely.

As the virtual world journey unfolded, I learned how to embrace the challenges and opportunities it presented. With my great passion for continuous growth and learning I got great opportunities to upskill that I highly utilised. I built my experience through client support, scheduling, reporting, project management, lead generation, research, social media management, digital marketing, email management, creating presentations, maintaining inventories, and calendar management. Being a fast learner, I can adapt quickly to new environments, and I enjoy finding creative solutions to unexpected problems. I work well as an individual as well as with a team. My excellence as a Virtual Assistant stems from my unwavering diligence, open communication, time management, resourcefulness, attention to detail, goal-driven, and diverse knowledge base and skill set.

In my career, clients are very important to me, and I enjoy working to make them satisfied. I believe the key to building long-term and lasting work relationships with clients is by doing more and creating more opportunities to grow. Having a positive attitude, commitment to quality, and accountability are important factors that I highly embrace to contribute to success in remote client collaboration.
Working from home has helped me appreciate flexibility, quality personal and family time, work-life balance, and global collaboration.

My long-term goal is to grow in my career by learning more skills and gaining knowledge to establish myself as a professional known for delivering exceptional support and value to clients across diverse industries.
