Meet Barbs Lopez, an executive assistant at MySigrid. Barbs joined MySigrid in 2022 and graciously offered to share her life story and how her family's life has changed since then.

If I met an old colleague, I would tell them that working at MySigrid has been a transformative experience. It offers a level of stability and support that I never had as a freelancer.

Barbs is the proud mother of two children and lives with her family in Quezon City, Manila. Before joining MySigrid, she worked for almost seven years in the BPO industry, servicing US clients during the night shift from 9 PM to 6 AM. Due to the heavy traffic in Metro Manila, her commute took up to three hours per day, leaving her with limited or no time to spend with her children during the week. Seeking a better work-life balance, Barbs decided to become a freelancer and work from home.

Following a health scare, however, the lack of job security as a freelancer became a significant concern, prompting Barbs to seek a more stable and healthy work model. She found this stability in MySigrid, which offered her full-time employment in a hybrid work model.
