What I'm looking for

I seek a remote or hybrid role supporting nonprofit or mission-driven teams where I can manage operations, streamline processes, support leadership, and grow into broader program or project management responsibilities.

I am a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant and Project Manager with over seven years of experience supporting nonprofit programs, case management, and executive-level administrative functions. I specialize in streamlining operations, improving reporting accuracy, and enabling leaders to focus on strategy.

My background includes coordinating community outreach, supervising case management for child-welfare programs, and managing donor-aligned documentation and compliance. I have a proven record of digitizing confidential records and developing hundreds of case plans to support vulnerable children and families.

I leverage tools like Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Google Workspace, MS Office, Notion, Slack and Zoom to create efficient workflows; I implemented systems that improved workflow efficiency by 30% and data accuracy by 25%. I also create content calendars and communications that boosted audience engagement by 20%.

I am passionate about supporting organizations and leaders to achieve measurable impact through process improvement, stakeholder engagement, and reliable administrative delivery. I bring a remote-ready setup and certifications in Asana, remote work readiness, virtual assistance, and project management fundamentals.
