In 2015, upon returning to the Philippines, Jennifer encountered the world of virtual assistance—an industry she had yet to explore.

Over the years, Jennifer has collaborated with clients across various industries, including finance, real estate, healthcare, e-commerce, and recruitment.

In June 2022, Jennifer joined forces with Erika and Sean as a virtual assistant at Hatchworks Coworking. Having nurtured a dream of establishing a virtual assistant agency, Jennifer aspired to assist clients worldwide in finding the perfect virtual assistants while also providing job opportunities for fellow VAs in the Philippines. Erika turned Jennifer's dream into a reality when she agreed to launch SwiftTasker.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Jennifer cherishes her leisure time, which she often spends embarking on motorcycle rides with her husband and caring for their 18 dogs.
