Collins Langat
@collinslangat1
Dedicated virtual assistant with over ten years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and highly organized Virtual Assistant with over ten years of hands-on experience supporting busy professionals, business owners, and remote teams. My background in Accounting and Finance, combined with a natural flair for administrative coordination, allows me to bring both structure and strategic value to the people I work with. I specialize in managing calendars, handling communications, preparing reports, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
As a freelance VA, I’ve had the opportunity to work with professionals across different timezones — from small business owners to consultants. I manage inboxes, coordinate meetings, and organize cloud storage systems like Google Drive. My role is to keep things running smoothly in the background so my clients can focus on growth. I am tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about helping others stay focused and productive — so they can concentrate on what matters most in their business.
