In my current role as an Education Specialist, I manage school schedules, coordinate multiple projects simultaneously, facilitate virtual teacher training programs, maintain accurate records, and collaborate with internal teams and external partners to ensure every project is completed efficiently and on schedule.

My greatest strengths are organization, attention to detail, time management, and adaptability. I excel at prioritizing tasks, managing competing deadlines, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. I am highly proficient in Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Trello, ClickUp, Slack, Zoom, and Zoho CRM, and I quickly learn new tools and systems to improve productivity and streamline workflows.

As a versatile Virtual Assistant, I deliver high-precision administrative support, executive documentation, project coordination, and operational management. My work spans drafting municipal resolutions, recording official meeting minutes, designing standardized forms, managing high-volume data entry, and coordinating complex event logistics. I have built a diverse portfolio collaborating with local government units, healthcare facilities, and large organizational bodies. As a Local Youth Development Council (LYDC) and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) member, I worked with municipal leaders to draft youth policies and manage community programs. Through the Government Internship Program (GIP), I supported public office operations by modernizing laboratory forms, editing publication materials, and organizing records. Furthermore, as the elected Vice President of the Medical Technology Interns Association, I served as executive liaison for 335 interns, coordinating schedules and organizational logistics. In clinical hospital environments, I collaborated with multidisciplinary healthcare teams under demanding 24/7 rotating schedules to manage sensitive patient data and execute strict quality control. What sets me apart is my relentless precision, adaptability, and proactive leadership. Coming from a medical technology background where accuracy is critical to patient outcomes, I bring an exceptional level of detail, data integrity, and privacy compliance to every task. I excel at translating complex operational requirements into clear, structured documents—from formal policy proposals to organized meeting records. Having thrived in fast-paced clinical environments and graveyard shifts, I am highly resilient, self-motivated, and comfortable taking ownership of tasks independently while keeping stakeholders aligned.

I've been working online since July 2006 — 20 years, zero commutes, and one very well-worn home office chair. I started out writing academic papers and eBooks and kept saying yes to harder things until I ended up building the systems businesses actually run on. Officially I'm a General & Executive Virtual Assistant. In practice that means calendars, inboxes, and founder wrangling on one side, and Notion/Airtable/ClickUp workspaces, GoHighLevel automations and funnels, Zapier workflows, A2P/10DLC approvals, Custom GPTs, and WordPress sites on the other. My favorite part of the job is taking a founder's messy voice note and turning it into an SOP someone else can actually follow. Who I've worked with: mostly Founders, CEOs, and C-level executives — a fractional tech company serving private healthcare and wellness practices, a Singapore venture builder, a marketing agency, a cloud hosting company, and one client I've now been with for 14 years, which I think says something. I've handled everything from a CEO's cross-country move to getting A2P applications approved on the first try (an underrated thrill). What I'm great at: figuring things out. Give me software I've never touched and I'll be dangerous with it by the afternoon. I flag the compliance issue or the bad idea before it becomes your problem — HIPAA implications on a web form, AI content rules on review platforms, that kind of thing. I'm warm with clients and customers, but I don't lose track of what's good for the business. Quirks worth mentioning: I'm a night owl by choice, so US hours suit me fine. I'm mildly obsessed with project management software. And on my second day at a Singapore company, a graphic I made in Canva ran on the NASDAQ Tower in Times Square — still one of my favorite things I've ever made.

Hi, I’m Rex Socito. I bridge the gap between visionary CEOs and the chaotic operations that slow them down. As an Executive Virtual Assistant and AI Automation Architect, my mission is simple: to give high-growth executives their time back while building the invisible systems that scale businesses. If you are trapped in your business rather than working on it—bogged down by administrative bottlenecks and manual processes—I step in to re-engineer your workflows for maximum efficiency. My approach combines top-tier executive support with a deep understanding of business growth. With over five years of experience across high-stakes customer service, global merchant operations at Stripe, and proactive sales, I understand the mechanics of revenue and retention. I don’t just manage calendars and clear inboxes; I know how to talk to your clients, protect your brand, and keep your daily operations running flawlessly without needing your supervision. What truly sets me apart is my ability to build smart systems. I look at your repetitive, manual tasks and find ways to automate them using a robust digital toolkit. From setting up seamless CRM workflows and lead management pipelines to connecting your favorite apps into self-sustaining ecosystems, I turn time-consuming bottlenecks into single-click solutions. You aren’t just hiring a task-taker—you are gaining a strategic partner who operates with total autonomy and precision. If you are a CEO or recruiter ready to stop firefighting, optimize operations, and scale through smart systems, let’s connect and let's talk about how we can streamline your business and maximize your execution.

I have over 15 years of experience in customer service, operations, and virtual assistance. After spending 9 years in the BPO industry, I transitioned to working as a Virtual Assistant in 2020 and have since supported businesses by providing dependable administrative, operational, and social media support. Most of my clients have been in the real estate industry, where I worked as a Sales Team Assistant. My responsibilities included managing emails, scheduling property showings, submitting compliance documents, maintaining databases, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. I also managed social media accounts by posting property listings, highlighting successful transactions, and creating content that strengthened each client's online presence. I currently work in the mental health industry as a Social Media Manager for an AI medical scribe platform, where I create content that educates, engages, and helps build brand awareness. Outside of work, I am a single mom to three daughters and currently pursuing my college degree. Balancing work, family, and school has strengthened my ability to stay organized, adapt quickly, and manage my time effectively. One of my greatest strengths is time management. It is something people often recognize because I consistently balance multiple responsibilities while maintaining the quality of my work. I take pride in being reliable, organized, and proactive, and I enjoy supporting teams by creating efficient workflows and helping businesses grow. I am always eager to learn, embrace new challenges, and contribute to teams that value collaboration, growth, and meaningful results.
The problem
Hire a virtual assistant without doing all the hiring work
Hiring a good virtual assistant should save you time. The recruitment process shouldn’t create another pile of work first.
Posting a role is easy. Finding someone you can trust with your inbox, customers, calendar, documents, or day-to-day business operations is harder.
You need to know whether the candidate can communicate clearly. Whether their experience matches the work. Whether they understand your expectations. And, most importantly, whether they’ll actually show up and perform once hired.
HeyVA gives employers a more structured way to handle virtual assistant hiring.
Instead of manually working through every application, Alexandra, HeyVA’s AI hiring manager, helps you create the job post, screen candidates against your requirements, ask follow-up questions, and organize interviews.
You stay in control of the hiring decision. You just spend less time getting there.

Use cases
What can you outsource to a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant can take ownership of recurring work that doesn't need to stay on your plate.
Common delegated tasks include:
The goal isn't to outsource random tasks whenever you're busy. A good VA role gives one person clear responsibilities they can learn, repeat, and eventually own.
Right fit
Who should hire a virtual assistant?
Virtual assistants make the most sense when your business has recurring work that needs to get done but doesn't require another local employee in the office.
Small business owners
Getting scheduling, research, invoices, and email off your plate.
Marketing & recruitment agencies
Adding remote assistants as client demand increases.
E-commerce businesses
Customer support, product administration, order-related work, or back-office operations.
If you regularly find yourself doing work that someone else could handle with a clear process and proper training, hiring a remote virtual assistant deserves serious consideration.
Why the Philippines
Why hire a Filipino virtual assistant?
The Philippines has become a major destination for businesses hiring remote staff, particularly for English-language support and administrative roles.
For employers, the attraction is straightforward: access to remote professionals while avoiding the salary costs attached to hiring the same role in markets such as the United States, Australia, or the UK.
Cost alone, however, is a bad hiring strategy. The cheapest applicant isn't automatically the best hire. Poor screening can turn a low hourly rate into weeks of wasted training, missed work, and another recruitment process.
When you hire a Filipino virtual assistant, look at communication, relevant experience, availability, role-specific skills, and reliability alongside the rate.
That's the difference between finding cheap labor and building dependable remote support.

Pricing
How much does it cost to hire a virtual assistant?
Hiring a Filipino virtual assistant typically costs around $4 to $20+ per hour, depending on the role, experience, skills, and level of responsibility. Here are typical hourly ranges to use when planning your virtual assistant budget:
| Virtual assistant role | Typical hourly rate | Experience | Common responsibilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Administrative Virtual Assistant | $3–$5/hour | Entry to intermediate | Inbox management, calendar scheduling, data entry, online research, document organization |

Long-term value
Why hiring a virtual assistant delivers long-term value
The immediate calculation is salary.
The more useful calculation is what happens to the business owner's time.
Suppose administrative work consumes 10 hours of your week. That's more than 500 hours over a year. If those tasks can be handled properly by a remote assistant, those hours can go back into sales, client work, strategy, hiring, or simply running the parts of the business that actually require you.
There is also a longer-term cost difference between local and offshore hiring. A lower ongoing staffing cost compounds month after month. For a growing business, that can create room to hire earlier, add more support, or keep more operating profit in the company.
The important condition is quality. Saving money only works when the person you hire can actually do the job.
Why HeyVA
Why choose HeyVA
There are plenty of places to hire a virtual assistant online. The harder question is what happens between receiving applications and making the hire. HeyVA is built around that part of the process.
Job-specific candidate screening
Screening should match the role you're filling. Candidates can be evaluated against the requirements and questions attached to your actual job rather than relying on a generic profile alone.
AI-assisted hiring
Alexandra handles repetitive recruitment steps such as drafting the job post, evaluating applications against your criteria, following up with candidates, and coordinating interviews. You spend your hiring time on the candidates worth meeting.
Filipino remote talent
HeyVA is focused on connecting businesses with talent from the Philippines, rather than mixing thousands of unrelated freelance categories into one general marketplace.
You make the final decision
AI helps with the recruitment workload. It doesn't decide who joins your company. You review the strongest candidates, conduct the interviews, and choose who you want to hire.
Built for repeat hiring
If you regularly need virtual assistants for your own company or for clients, HeyVA gives you a repeatable hiring process instead of starting from scratch every time.
