What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid virtual assistant roles where I can apply legal research, reporting, and administrative skills in a confidential, fast-paced team that values reliability, learning and growth.

I am a Virtual Assistant with freelance and attachment experience supporting legal and administrative functions. I focus on delivering precise legal research, data entry and clear reporting while meeting tight deadlines.

At a private law firm I facilitated legal research and investment analysis and crafted detailed reports that improved decision-making. I consistently delivered work with accuracy and confidentiality under stringent timelines.

During an attachment at Kenya Power I collaborated with customer service and technical teams to streamline operations, organise files, and coordinate schedules. I supported team leaders by managing routine tasks and ensuring smooth administrative workflows.

I hold formal training in electrical and electronics engineering and have completed courses in virtual assistance and project management. I bring strong Google Workspace skills, time management, professionalism and a commitment to maintaining confidentiality and continuous learning.
