What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and digitally savvy professional with extensive experience in administration, content writing, and online customer support. My career has been marked by a strong sense of initiative and the ability to manage multiple tasks remotely with precision and calm. I thrive in virtual environments where clear communication, tech literacy, and empathy are key.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in customer service and administrative support. My role as a Content Writer and Social Media Coordinator at Salon Privé Magazine allowed me to write and edit lifestyle articles while managing WordPress CMS and social media engagement. Additionally, my experience as an Administrative Manager at Rubens Engineering Services enabled me to streamline office operations and improve client communications, showcasing my ability to enhance efficiency in a fast-paced environment.
I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a dynamic team where I can continue to grow professionally. With a proven ability to adapt quickly and deliver exceptional customer service, I am confident in my ability to add value in a remote support or administrative role.
