What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles supporting operations or executives in mission-driven teams where I can streamline processes, manage onboarding/campaigns, and grow into greater operational responsibility.

I am a proactive Operations and Administrative Support specialist with over two years' experience supporting remote teams and U.S.-based service businesses. I focus on calendar and inbox management, onboarding coordination, campaign tracking, CRM upkeep, and process optimization.

I have consistently improved workflows and efficiency — for example, reorganising file systems to speed access, improving task completion to 95%, and boosting workflow efficiency by approximately 25% through better CRM and project tracking.

My remote work strengths include strong asynchronous communication, independent accountability, and rapid adaptation to tools like Airtable, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, HubSpot, and Google Workspace. I proactively identify gaps, escalate risks, and ensure operational readiness for launches.

I bring a customer-focused mindset and a track record of saving clients time (up to 5 hours weekly) through streamlined scheduling and communication systems, making me a dependable partner for fast-paced, mission-driven organisations.
