In 2018 Sharon completed her Bachelor of Business Administration and is currently completing her Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualifications.

How did Sharon start freelancing?

Employment in Uganda is lucrative and with increasing inflation the average Ugandan salary does not pay enough to put food on the table for a family. As a single mother Sharon needed to find additional work to provide for her child, but she also needed flexibility so she could complete her university studies. Then 2017 Sharon responded to a Facebook advertisement from Staff Leverage who were recruiting virtual assistants to help small businesses in Australia.

The recruiter at the time was the co-owner of Staff Leverage, Shauna, who is also the founder of The Nexus. Having no experience Sharon took a chance and applied for the job. It was a steep learning curve for Sharon as she needed to not only learn new skills, but also how to work with a different culture.

Sharon worked for Staff Leverage and their clients for two years before she started freelancing independently.
