Hi, I'm Erick.
By night I support US executives at Athena, by day I'm an Athena Scholar at Metis College working toward an MBA, and in between I build free resources for Filipino Virtual Assistants, full-stack websites for MSMEs, and travel videos for YouTube whenever I can get away. Glad you're here.

I'm a 24-year-old from General Trias, Cavite who somehow ended up supporting US executives from my desk in the Philippines, pursuing an MBA in Europe, and building free resources for thousands of Filipino Virtual Assistants, all at the same time.
Overachiever? Maybe.
But it started with three things: discipline, curiosity, and a refusal to let where I grew up define where I'd end up.
I've been valedictorian of every school I attended. I joined my first US company at 18, during a pandemic, with zero experience. I got promoted within two years, graduated Magna Cum Laude, passed my financial advisor exams, and am now an Executive Assistant at Athena Labs LLC, a leading global executive assistant company, where I'm proud to be part of the Athena Scholar Program as a Metis College MBA Candidate. I also picked up a few pageant titles along the way.
On the side, I do full-stack web development and designfor Filipino MSMEs. Websites I built or am building live on the Portfolio page, and the prices are about half the going rate because I'm chasing my first 50 clients in 2026. Funny thing: I only learned to build full-stack sites on April 24, 2026. The first five shipped within days.
What makes me happiest, though, is content creation. Travel videos, mostly, with a growing channel on YouTube and TikToks coming soon. I used to play volleyball seriously until an ACL injury in the middle of 2025 took me out of the game. The cameras came in to fill the gap. Now I get to bring people along to El Nido, Pinatubo, Ilocos, Baguio, Laiya, and wherever else I land next.
But honestly, the thing I'm most proud of isn't any of that. It's the free resource portal I built for Filipino freelancers starting from zero, because I was that person once. No connections, no roadmap, no one to guide me.
Everything I know, I give away for free. That's the deal.
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I share my story, my work, and everything I've learned, freely and honestly.
Tools, templates, and workflows I wish I had when I started.
Built from years supporting US executives. Working files across executive assistance, real estate support, bookkeeping, and the general business of being a freelancer.
Yours free. No signup, no upsell.
Executive Assistant
Nine working templates for client profiles, meeting agendas, travel planners, expense reports, and the systems top EAs run on. The same ones I use to support US executives.
General Virtual Assistant
The toolkit every Filipino Virtual Assistant should have on hand: contracts, resumes, trackers, and the templates that turn freelance work into a real business.
Real Estate Virtual Assistant
Tools for Virtual Assistants supporting real estate agents, from listing prep through showing follow-up.
Bookkeeping
Track money in, money out, and the receipts that keep your client's books clean.
Up through the night with US executives, studying my MBA in the morning, building free resources for Filipino Virtual Assistants and full-stack websites for MSMEs in between, and filming travel videos on weekends.
