Vannie exited the corporate world in 2020 after 14 years as a software engineer. She took a leap of faith to go back to her passion for visual and written expression by venturing as a freelance social media manager in the midst of the pandemic. She is grateful for her experiences in technical and creative roles at her local church for preparing her to make a career transition from software development into social media management.
Now, she helps business coaches and service providers gain time freedom and increased visibility by creating and repurposing content to help establish and grow their online presence. As a freelancer, Vannie is enjoying the freedom of using her passion to help her clients and at the same time celebrating life with her husband and two adorable kids.
