What I'm looking for

I seek remote, solitary roles in content curation or moderation, leveraging my precision, digital marketing, and multilingual skills (English, Portuguese, Afrikaans) to ensure quality and drive results.”

I am a seasoned Virtual Assistant and CRM specialist with over 30 years' experience across marketing, operations, sales, and real estate client management. I combine hands-on deal closing with strategic CRM implementations to drive client retention and revenue growth. I have closed over R5m in real estate deals and achieved 90% client retention through Property24 listings, bond pre-approvals, and multilingual client support in English, Portuguese, and Afrikaans. Skilled in content moderation, data review, and escalation handling for digital platforms. I grew a PostNet franchise to R2m+ turnover and scaled Premier Group exports with a 545% profit uplift. My technical strengths include HubSpot and Salesforce CRM setup, Zapier and Notion task automation, and tools like MS Office, Google Workspace, Zoom, and Slack. I hold certifications from HubSpot Academy, Semrush Academy, and Google Digital Garage, and I am experienced in P&L management, budgets, and digital content creation. I am remote-ready, comfortable working SAST/CET, and bring a multicultural client coordination mindset, strong problem-solving and client-success orientation, and a track record of delivering measurable ROI
