Experienced guesthouse manager and virtual assistant skilled in administration and client relations.
I am an experienced hospitality and administrative professional with a strong track record in guesthouse management, bookings, and customer-facing communication. I combine operational oversight with hands-on administration to keep services running smoothly.
In remote roles I have managed daily administration, scheduling, social media engagement, and content aligned to brand strategy, while driving client conversions and retention through proactive communication.
I have classroom and online teaching experience as an EFL instructor, backed by a 120-hour TEFL certification, and I hold a Diploma in Business Administration and Basic Life Support certification.
I am detail-oriented, adept at sales and marketing, and comfortable with database management, appointment setting, and virtual assistance tasks that improve processes and enhance customer satisfaction.
