Administrative and Operational Support Virtual Assistant
What I'm looking for
Workloads can be overwhelming when priorities lag, deadlines close in and deliverables feel out of reach. The solution? Me. With over 3 years of experience as a Virtual Assistant, I bring order to schedules, reports, meetings and competing tasks. I have a strong background in administrative and operational support, research, customer service and social media management, using tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Canva and Asana to keep businesses running smoothly.
I have improved executive efficiency through structured scheduling systems, strengthened client relationships through timely communication, and increased visibility and engagement for small business owners through content creation and community management. Recognized for my proactive recommendations, I am passionate about technology, research, digital marketing and entrepreneurship, and committed to helping businesses grow and thrive.
