Elsie Wanjugu
@elsiewanjugu
Virtual Assistant with 7+ years supporting executives, research, and data-driven operations for clients.
What I'm looking for
I’m a multi-skilled Virtual Assistant from Kenya with over 7 years of experience supporting start-ups, SMEs, and government agencies. I bring strength in research, data collection, analysis, report writing, and policy development, so operations stay organized and decisions are well-informed.
In my recent role as an Executive Virtual Assistant (2019–2025, remote), I managed executive calendars, appointments, and travel arrangements, coordinated email correspondence, and kept inbox systems running smoothly. I also processed invoices, tracked expenses, organized digital files, and performed quality assurance checks and data entry to protect operational accuracy.
I’m equally strong in project coordination and customer support—tracking deadlines and milestones in Asana, Trello, ClickUp, and more, facilitating communication between clients, vendors, and internal teams, and maintaining CRM records for responsive service. I’m excited by new tools and systems, and I focus on exceptional client service backed by clear workflows, SOPs, and reliable documentation.
