@janninaortiz
Virtual administrative assistant with 15+ years supporting executives and teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a Virtual Administrative Assistant with over 15 years of experience providing high-quality administrative support to executives and teams in fast-paced environments. I prioritize efficient communication, confidentiality, and proactive problem-solving to maintain a professional work atmosphere.
I have a proven track record of managing calendars, coordinating meetings, handling sensitive information, and implementing process improvements—such as introducing a new phone system and developing employee and fire drill manuals. I also brought in $34,000 in rental payments in one year, demonstrating strong operational and revenue-related impact.
My background includes office and program management, training and team leadership, newsletter and publication design, and social media strategy development. I have worked across sectors including nonprofits, healthcare, entertainment, and government, and I am comfortable with documentation, CRM data entry, and workflow optimization.
I am proficient in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, WordPress, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Publisher, Constant Contact, scheduling software, and desktop sharing tools, and I speak English fluently with conversational Spanish. I bring reliability, organizational strength, and a commitment to delivering results with minimal supervision.
