Certified VA | 7+ yrs remote admin & writing | Zero errors, 100% on-time | Lagos, Nigeria | Available immediately
What I'm looking for
I am a Certified Virtual Assistant (ALX Africa) with 7+ years of professional experience in remote administration, executive support, and business writing. Over the past three years, I have independently managed the full administrative operations of three business owners simultaneously — handling executive calendars, email correspondence, meeting coordination, filing systems, travel arrangements, and operational reporting — with zero missed deadlines and 100% on-time delivery across all engagements. Every client has retained me long-term, which I consider the strongest measure of trust in remote work.
Before going freelance, I built a solid foundation in on-site roles as an Administrative Officer at ENYO Retail and Supplies, where I reduced reporting errors by 20% and maintained 100% financial reconciliation compliance, and as a Branch Officer at Verite Microfinance Bank, where I managed documentation and client services with zero discrepancy records.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Business Administration (Upper Credit) and am completing a B.Sc. in Business Administration. I am also trained in Google Digital Skills, CRM, and Front-End Web Development.
I am detail-oriented, self-managed, and thrive in remote environments. I am immediately available for full-time remote roles in virtual assistance, executive support, administrative operations, or AI training work.
