Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Social Studies
Negros Oriental State University
Hi, I’m Fe Marie B. Petil, a Virtual Assistant and Personal Assistant from Dumaguete City, Philippines with over 4 years of hands-on experience supporting online coaches, entrepreneurs, real estate professionals, and growing businesses.
My journey into virtual assistance is built on a strong foundation of education, discipline, continuous learning, and a genuine desire to help people and businesses stay organized and move forward.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education, major in Social Studies, and I am a Licensed Professional Teacher (LPT). I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Social Studies (MASS).
During my academic years, I was a consistent honor student and was recognized as an Outstanding Preservice Teacher. These experiences taught me the importance of consistency, preparation, accountability, communication, critical thinking, and taking responsibility for the work I do. Those same qualities continue to shape the way I work as a Virtual Assistant today.
For over 4 years, I have worked across different areas of virtual assistance, including Social Media Management, Lead Generation, Appointment Setting, Real Estate Support, Video Editing, Graphic Design, Content Creation, Community Management, Email Marketing, CRM Administration, and general administrative support.
I’ve worked behind the scenes of online businesses, helping with everything from managing social media and creating content to generating and following up with leads, setting appointments, organizing CRM systems, supporting clients and communities, and keeping daily operations organized and moving forward.
I have hands-on experience with a variety of online business tools and platforms, including GoHighLevel (GHL), Ivory, Canva, CapCut, Meta Business Suite, ManyChat, Calendly, Google Workspace, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, ChatGPT, and other digital tools.
I am also a ChatGPT Certified Level 1 Professional, which has strengthened my ability to use AI as a practical business tool for research, content creation, organization, productivity, problem-solving, and day-to-day administrative support. I enjoy exploring new technologies and finding practical ways to use them to make workflows more efficient while still keeping the human side of business at the center.
One thing I’ve learned throughout my experience is that being a good Virtual Assistant is about much more than knowing how to use different tools.
It’s about being dependable.
It’s about paying attention to the small details, understanding priorities, communicating clearly, asking questions when something needs clarification, and taking initiative when appropriate.
When I work with a client, I don’t want to simply complete a task and move on. I want to understand the bigger picture, learn how the business operates, recognize what needs attention, and find practical ways to make my client’s workload lighter.
I take ownership of the responsibilities entrusted to me. If I don’t know how to do something, I’m willing to learn. If I need clarification, I communicate. If I see an opportunity to improve something, I’m willing to take initiative.
My background as an educator, my 4+ years of experience as a Virtual Assistant, my experience across multiple areas of online business, and my continued learning in AI and technology have shaped me into someone who is organized, adaptable, resourceful, and committed to doing meaningful work.
I’m continuously learning, improving, and growing. I’m always open to opportunities where I can contribute my skills, build genuine professional relationships, and become a reliable part of the team I support.
For me, being a Virtual Assistant is not just about taking work off someone’s plate.
It’s about becoming someone they can trust to help carry it.
