Welcome to the Cervo & Associates Blog!
My name is Normida “Jec” Cervo, and I’m the Director at Cervo & Associates. Having gone through the migration process myself, I know firsthand how emotional, overwhelming, and hopeful this journey can be.
Migration is more than paperwork — it’s about starting a new life, often far from loved ones, and embracing the unknown with courage and determination.
My Journey from the Philippines to Australia
I was born and raised in the Philippines and spent over a decade working in Human Resources for a multinational pharmaceutical company. While I had a stable career, I wanted more — for myself and my family’s future.
In 2014, I took a leap of faith and moved to Australia through a training program. It wasn’t easy. I faced the challenges of starting over in a new country, far from home.
Through perseverance and resilience, I was granted Permanent Residency in 2015 — a milestone that changed my life.
How I Became a Migration Advisor
After settling in Western Australia, I joined a small migration agency and quickly saw how complex the visa process can be. I also learned how the right guidance can change someone’s life.
Later, I joined the global mobility team of a large energy company, deepening my knowledge of immigration compliance and international workforce movement.
While working, I studied Law, earned Dean’s Merit List recognition, and passed the Migration Agents Capstone Assessment on my first attempt.
