What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills and support executive teams in a collaborative environment.

I am a proactive and detail-oriented Executive Virtual Assistant with two years of experience supporting executive teams and C-suite leaders. My expertise lies in calendar management, travel coordination, meeting organization, and project tracking, all while handling confidential information with the utmost discretion. I thrive in fast-paced remote environments, leveraging my excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving abilities to ensure seamless operations.

In my recent role at Zamara, I provided high-level administrative support, managing multiple calendars and coordinating executive travel logistics. I successfully tracked ongoing projects using tools like Trello and Asana, which led to a 20% reduction in delays and missed deadlines. My commitment to professionalism is evident in my preparation of executive-level documents and presentations, ensuring clarity and branding consistency.

Previously, I supported the CEO and senior managers at Ollin Ltd, where I streamlined workflows and improved standard operating procedures. I also developed a color-coded digital filing system that enhanced document retrieval efficiency by over 25%. My experience as a Virtual Assistant for LinkedIn allowed me to manage shared inboxes and conduct market research, contributing to informed decision-making within the team.
