Athi Godlwana
@athigodlwana
Remote-ready virtual assistant blending bookkeeping, social media, and client-focused communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m a trilingual (English, Afrikaans, Xhosa) professional with hands-on experience in remote teaching, digital marketing, and business administration. I work independently, meet deadlines, and communicate clearly across cultures, bringing practical proficiency in Sage Accounting and the Microsoft Office Suite. I also manage social media end-to-end, including content creation and ad design.
Through my remote teaching work, I delivered live lessons, developed structured educational content, and tracked/report on student progress using detailed records. In marketing, I managed Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X campaigns for multiple newspaper brands, coordinated webinar logistics, and supported office administration. I’m well-suited for remote roles with international clients who want reliable coordination and strong communication.
