Ferrister Mirembe
@ferristermirembe
Virtual Assistant delivering executive support, systems, and calm operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a virtual assistant and administrative support professional with 3+ years of experience helping organisations, founders, and leadership teams operate more clearly and efficiently. My background spans NGO, education, health, and community sectors, with consistent work across inbox and calendar management, stakeholder communications, documentation, workflow design, and research support.
I’m known for proactively building systems where none exist and taking ownership of operational detail so leadership can focus on what matters most. I work comfortably fully remotely, asynchronously, and across all time zones, and I’m available to start immediately.
Most recently, as an Administrative Assistant at Wajabu Christian Junior Primary School, I managed full administrative operations—scheduling, correspondence, records management, and stakeholder communications—and designed a school-wide activity calendar that eliminated scheduling conflicts. I also built an inventory tracking system for school consumables, introduced a structured parent communication protocol, and supported admissions, enrolment, and documentation/reporting.
Earlier, I strengthened organisational communication infrastructure from scratch at My Shepherd Ministries and improved partner response times by creating ready-to-use documentation systems. I’ve also coordinated multi-stakeholder field activities and produced structured field reports at Legisco Uganda, and led therapy department workflows and donor reporting while maintaining strict safeguarding and compliance requirements.
