Recognizing the significance of humble beginnings is a key aspect of many success stories, a sentiment I find meaningful. When I reflect on the early days of The Stellar Enterprise, I remember my family's support and my team's dedication. Each member’s commitment to work mirrored my own, propelling Stellar to new heights. And, among all the people I've worked with, Andrea Rae Mirasol shines as a rare gem in our shared journey!
Andrea is currently The Stellar Enterprise’s Projects & Accounts Coordinator. She oversees and manages all our projects and accounts, making sure everything runs smoothly. Her proactive approach extends beyond merely solving problems; she actively seeks opportunities to innovate and enhance our project management procedures. Here is an overview of Andrea’s stellar growth journey from learning to leading:
How It All Started
Andrea's venture with our team traces back to 2013, when she applied to a company I co-founded. At the time, she was a young mother trying to balance work and family life. With a background in manufacturing quality control, she was an unconventional choice for the role of a virtual assistant or researcher. However, her determination to provide for her family stood out to me. That’s why I decided to take a chance on her.
The initial days were challenging, with Andrea facing a steep learning curve. I recall an incident on her second day at work when her performance fell short of expectations. In an open conversation, I told her to go home and consider whether the work matched her goals and skills. I did not know if she would show up the next day. She did.
What followed was a testament to Andrea's resilience. Instead of being disheartened by the setbacks, she embraced the opportunity for growth. Over time, she did not just overcome the hurdles she encountered — she thrived. Eventually, she developed into an irreplaceable member of our team. Her journey with us was not just marked by professional achievements; she also celebrated personal milestones, such as her marriage and growing family. Furthermore, she played a crucial role during the transition phase from my former company to the founding of The Stellar Enterprise.
The Role of the Projects & Accounts Coordinator
Andrea's standout quality lies in her genuine passion for learning, unwavering dedication to the company, and commitment to showcasing her continually evolving skills. Much like a sponge eagerly absorbing new knowledge, she embraced every opportunity to acquire fresh insights. Over time, her expanding abilities and expertise became evident as she effortlessly integrated each one into her work.
Her eagerness to broaden her skill set led her to revisit her academic roots, venturing into other territories such as website development. Andrea campaigned for incorporating website creation as a new Stellar service. She explained its potential impact and expressed her desire to lead this initiative. I’m grateful that I considered her insights, as this marked the start of our transformation from a VA/research company to a digital marketing powerhouse.
As our current Projects & Accounts Coordinator, Andrea meticulously oversees every aspect of our projects and accounts, leaving no detail overlooked. She ensures that deadlines are not only met but consistently exceeded, orchestrating seamless workflows and resource allocation to optimize efficiency. Moreover, she plays a pivotal role in the mentorship of new team members, sharing her expertise and guiding them to achieve their full potential.
Get To Know More About Andrea
Andrea hails from Trece Martires City, Cavite, and pursued her education at the Technological University of the Philippines and the Asian Institute of Computer Studies. She is a proud wife to Drix Mirasol and the best mom to two wonderful children. We affectionately call her eldest daughter, Annie, the "Stellar Baby." We also felt incredible joy in welcoming her second child, Gillian.
Another interesting facet of Andrea's personality is her introverted nature, a quality that shapes her world within the orbit of Stellar and her family. We even refer to her as the most introverted of all introverts. She finds joy in the simplicity of small gatherings with the team but never fails to keep professional confidence and composure when collaborating with clients.
Looking further into Andrea's personal preferences, she is an avid fan of movies. She also enjoys watching TV shows like "Breaking Bad" and "Big Bang Theory.” Meanwhile, her favorite authors include Rick Riordan, Bo Sanchez, and J.K. Rowling. She is not inclined towards sports or physical activities and would rather stay home.
Her dislike of insensitivity and disorganization shows her commitment to a harmonious and considerate work environment. It is an aspect of her character that meshes perfectly with her favorite quote, "There's no place like home.” This conveys her feeling of comfort and belonging within the familiar spheres of Stellar and her personal life.
