Tell Us About You

Hello there! I’m Rowena, hailing from the beautiful Philippines. I’ve been immersed in the world of freelancing for over 13 fruitful years.

Outside of work, I have a soft spot for our furry friends and often spend my free time feeding stray cats and dogs. I also enjoy exploring places where I can procure the freshest catch of fish and shellfish.

My professional journey has been quite diverse. I’ve spent over 5 years as a Data Entry Specialist, handling tasks like data entry, verification, review, and quality checks. Additionally, I’ve worn the hat of a Lead Generalist for over 4 years. 

In the realm of Amazon, I’ve garnered 3 years of experience, primarily focusing on brand protection and serving as a Stock Check (Inventory) Analyst for various sellers and companies on the platform. I’m well-versed in Woocommerce and Shopify, and adept at tasks such as product posting and order management.

Beyond that, my skill set extends to web research, administrative support, Excel, event posting, tweet sourcing, Facebook coupon posting (with the aid of software), Link Building (backlink), Retail Administration (managing orders, billings, and stock checks), and acting as a Sourcing Specialist for China. I’m also proficient in WordPress, audio editing, and graphic design.

Thanks to my expertise in these areas, I’ve earned the trust of numerous clients who appreciate the quality of service and professionalism I bring to the table. I’ve been a proud member of the FreeeUp community since it started, consistently delivering top-notch work to clients.

Why Did You Start Freelancing? 

I’ve worked as a Freelancer since 2010. One of my colleagues at the office approached me with an online task and expressed enthusiasm about the potential for me to earn more than my previous corporate job while working from home. This encouraged me to take the initiative and start my search for clients in the freelancing world.
