Proactive Virtual Assistant with expertise in executive support and coordination.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive and resourceful Virtual Assistant with over three years of experience supporting executive teams and managing complex calendars. My expertise lies in coordinating cross-departmental tasks and maintaining vendor relationships, ensuring seamless operations in fast-paced environments. I excel in high-level scheduling using Google Calendar, generating financial reports, and managing office operations with minimal supervision.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional multitasking abilities and a strong proficiency in various digital tools, including Google Workspace and Microsoft Excel. My role as a Remote Virtual Assistant at Employability Skills Academy has honed my skills in project documentation and data collection, while my freelance work for a YouTube channel has enhanced my digital marketing capabilities. I am committed to delivering high-quality results and adapting quickly to new challenges.
