ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is David Henry Santos. 32 years of age, married with two kids. I live in the land of the dream weavers - province of South Cotabato, Philippines.
My broad work experience, albeit from the traditional-physical jobs, are unique in combination, which I believe, can serve to my client’s best for both personal and business virtual assistance needs.
When I was with the aviation industry as part of auditing team, people depend on me for ensuring that safe and quality service is being provided for the flying public and stakeholders. Our job is to ensures that the systems & other workflow are functioning in accordance to international regulations. I’m predictable with what I do as enforcers of institutional standards and recommended practices.
I’ve also been in the financial industry as a financial advisor for an insurance company. A job that requires high level of trust because it involves client’s hard-earned money. My clients find it comforting knowing that I’m stable in my actions and decisions. It keeps everything grounded and solid which gives familiar results.
Other than the force of pandemic, I’m pursuing to be an online professional because of my family. Not just to provide for them financially but to be present and lead them. This is also how I wish to add as value to my online clients – to not worry of their digital assets and transactions – and use that time to be with their family. My transition to this career was made possible with trainings I’ve attended, both free and paid, conducted by the Department of Information and Communications Technology under their Digital Jobs Training Program, and by the Filipino Virtual Assistance Academy.
When not in the virtual assistance world, I train and help in the multimedia team of our local church in doing live streaming, graphic design, video production, and in social media management.
