I am the founder and very first Pocket Partner. In the midst of all the data-driven algorithms and analytics involved in small business and digital marketing, I am an artist and storyteller at heart.

Before starting My Pocket Partner, I hopped around all types of jobs related to marketing, social media, SEO, website development, design, PR, and sales (Heck, I even had a license to sell life and health insurance at one point!) until I really settled into my position as a project manager for a digital marketing agency. I was able to gain even more marketing experience in other niche industries such as food, beauty, entertainment, technology, medical, health, and real estate.

I am the Co-Founder and COO for My Pocket Partner. For the last 4 years, I have dedicated my time in corporate logistics with one of the world’s largest retail companies and building start-up facilities from the bottom-up. After having a taste of the corporate world, I’m determined to create something of great value that will allow me to choose how and when I want to work.

I pride myself on my abilities in leadership, strategy, team-building, and producing data-driven results while creating strong organizational infrastructures. Critical thinking and problem-solving are my favorite aspects of business development. My determination in seeing something through from start to finish is unrivaled.

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2018 and have been building my career in marketing ever since. After serving as the Chief Operating Officer for NXTFactor, I started my own creative marketing agency, True Blue Creatives.

I am a second-generation Filipina and grew up with conservative parents who have always wanted me to pursue a career in the medical field. Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always confidently answer with “I want to be an artist!”

Hello, Yumi here! Originally born in Hong Kong but raised in Vancouver, Canada since I was 3 years old. My pronouns are she/her. I have a huge love for animals – hence why I have 4 dogs at home! My career background was mainly in Veterinary Technology which I did for 11 years and also an educational background in HR Management as I always wanted to tap into business.

I had a fair share of the 9-5 lifestyle, but after doing that for over 10 years, I soon realized I had to take matters into my own hand. This is where my path in entrepreneurship began. My biggest goal in life is to make a difference and to be able to change my family’s legacy to leave an impact on others’ lives. Outside of My Pocket Partner, I’m a Virtual Assistant – also known as a jill of all trades and super excited to officially be working as an Project Manager for My Pocket Partner!
