Hi, I am SAQ, your PA(Personal Assistant)

― about me

I’ve gone through a number of phases in my career, and each of them has informed my current work ethos and philosophy. I have excelled in a number of customer service and management roles in diverse industries, and believe that my number one asset is the skillset and diversified experience accumulated over the past many years, and my ability to utilize that in supporting people in my community achieving their literacy and digitally challenging goals.

I've worked as an administrator, customer service representative, science teacher and IT manager in the past. My overall teaching experience is almost over 10 years.

Currently, working as a freelance public service interpreter, website designer, SEO expert and social media marketer.

Last but not least! I am passionate about helping people from different communities in the UK, in their reading, writing, translating and data entry needs. Moreover, working as a Personal Assistant gives me a great sense of achievement in life.
