Organized virtual assistant skilled in admin support, communications, and digital content.
What I'm looking for
I am an organized, tech-savvy virtual assistant with a BA in English (Second Class Upper) and experience supporting educational, corporate, and nonprofit teams. I combine strong administrative discipline with effective written and verbal communication to keep operations running smoothly.
In my current role I provide office support, manage email communication, prepare documents, and coordinate activities to ensure efficient daily operations. Previously, I supported corporate communications—typing and editing articles, designing promotional materials, and managing logistics during NYSC service.
I also have front-of-house experience delivering professional first impressions, handling phone lines and correspondence, and managing schedules and errands. I am self-taught in graphic design, content creation, and basic video editing, and I run a personal blog that showcases my storytelling and social media skills.
I enjoy collaborating remotely and in-person, prioritizing punctuality, problem solving, and clear communication, and I take pride in supporting executives and teams to free them to focus on strategic priorities.
