Administrative & Creative Virtual Assistant | I help busy CEOs, Coaches, Entrepreneurs & Professionals reclaim 30+ hours weekly
What I'm looking for
Ever felt like your business is moving forward but you’re the one falling behind?
Emails pile up. Calendars get messy. Travel plans drag you down. Projects stall because the little details eat up all your energy.
I’ve seen it too many times: smart executives, busy founders, and growing teams drowning in admin instead of driving strategy.
That’s where I come in.
I’m an Executive Virtual Assistant and Operations Support Partner. I help leaders reclaim 30+ hours every week by managing their inbox, calendar, travel, research, reporting, and projects with structure, clarity, and follow-through.
I’ve been able to help busy professionals and executives because of my strengths:
✔️ Staying calm and organized under pressure
✔️ Clear, proactive communication
✔️ Taking ownership and finishing tasks without hand-holding
✔️ Quick adaptation across tools and industries
✔️ A balance of detail and big-picture focus
Over the years, I’ve supported CEOs, consultants, and small businesses across hospitality, fintech, fashion, and creative industries to:
✔️ Keep calendars, inboxes, and priorities under control.
✔️ Run smooth projects without missed steps or deadlines.
✔️ Save time through workflow optimization and automation.
✔️ Focus on growth while I handle the backend
What I can help you handle:
✔️ Executive assistance: inbox management, calendar control, travel planning, meeting preparation.
✔️ Admin and reporting: research, spreadsheets, document prep, data management
✔️ Project coordination: timelines, task tracking, and cross-team follow-up.
✔️ Client and vendor communication: professional, timely, and organized.
Here are the tools I work with: •Google Workspace •Microsoft Office •Asana •Trello •ClickUp •Notion •CRM platforms (HubSpot, Zoho) •Workflow Automation tool (Zapier) •CapCut •Slack •Slack and more.
My goal is not just to “do tasks” but to create structure and free up your time so you can focus on scaling your business.
Let me take the weight of admin off your shoulders so your business feels lighter, sharper, and easier to run.
