Mariamae Iyana – WordPress Designer, QA Test

Hi, I am Mariamae Iyana, you can call me Mae. I am 27 years of age, single. I graduated with a degree in Information Technology from the Datamex Institute of Computer Technology. A few years back, I would not have thought of myself as working from home, nor imagining as such. But life can throw you a curve ball and things just unfold. I never knew working from home could be so fulfilling, stress-free, and enjoyable.

I started out working as a WordPress designer and QA tester for an agency based in Sydney, Australia. Dealing with customers regarding the design project. Then along came an opportunity for me to work remotely. It was not an easy decision since this is a new environment, full of unknown factors involved, but I took the leap and chose to work home-based.

Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for me to be able to adapt to the new environment. I built my experience through client support, front-end maintenance of websites, flow and operation, api testing and api integration. I learn fast and can cross-function within the company. I can work well alone or with a team. I find teaching my colleagues what I know fulfilling, as I aim to set a great work environment and work culture for the team. Being diligent in my work, goal-oriented, keen on details, resourceful, and equipped with a different set of skills and knowledge makes me an outstanding Virtual Assistant.

Over the years, understanding the culture and environment of the company is important, a good attitude and consistently giving your best and be accountable for your work in all aspects is an important factors in achieving success. No problem is too difficult when you give your all – understand, ask when needed, and be responsible to deliver.

Working at home is very different from being at an office, but I know that this environment is best for me and my family. Aside from providing for my family, I believe that time is one important factor I can give them, and by working at home, I am able to provide all this.

I aim to grow further with my career, and learn more skills and knowledge along the way to better myself and apply them to both my work and life.
