Hi, I am Joey Mae Palad, an Associate Degree holder in Software Development. I have worked with various businesses, from sales in a printing press to managing a salon and spa, including sales and management of a beverage business and a small trucking logistics company from 2008 to 2016.
I later focused my interest on office work, bringing with me 10 years of experience as an Executive Assistant in a construction firm. I supported executives and technical teams through calendar and email management, executive follow-ups, government permit processing, and preparation of corporate documents such as contracts, affidavits, board resolutions, and secretary’s certificates.
I managed HR functions including recruitment, onboarding, and employee documentation. I handled accounting-related tasks such as bank and credit line applications, payroll and DTR system development using Excel, accounts receivable tracking, billing, collections, VAT reporting, and cash disbursement records. I coordinated purchasing activities by sourcing suppliers nationwide, negotiating payment terms, and managing material procurement. I also assisted in construction and project management by preparing accreditation and bidding documents, costing and quotations, permit applications, project coordination, coordinating subcontractors and their works, project closure, and profit reporting. Additionally, I handled administrative and legal document custodian and preparation tasks.
I then worked as a Virtual Assistant / Operations Manager for a CEO based in San Diego, California, where I handled the day-to-day operations of her cleaning company and administrative tasks for the shared housing facility. I provided executive and operational support by managing calendars, inboxes, task priorities, and regular follow-ups to ensure the timely completion of bids, certifications, and operational deliverables.
I handled business registrations, MBE/DBE/SBA certifications, insurance applications, and compliance requirements. I prepared complete bidding packages and quotations, sourced suppliers, coordinated submissions through multiple online bidding platforms, and managed CRM records and lead follow-ups. I also oversaw client billing, invoicing, and payment tracking via Oracle Textura, prepared contracts and onboarding documents, maintained HR records, and ensured compliance with CalSavers, EDD, and DIR regulations.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your business. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
