Kesia Portillo
@kesiaportillo
Senior virtual assistant specializing in CRM management, insurance support, and bilingual client communications.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly organized bilingual (English–Spanish) professional with 12 years of progressive experience, including 4+ years working remotely as a Virtual Assistant. I bring a strong record of managing high-volume workflows with efficiency and discretion.
In my Virtual Assistant role, I handle scheduling and appointment coordination, maintain accurate CRM records and digital files, and manage client intake and documentation processing. I also support insurance operations by quoting and assisting with policy updates, while coordinating with mortgage companies for declarations and documentation.
Before that, I strengthened my precision and confidentiality through medical paralegal and legal administrative support work, including medical records review and deadline coordination. I’ve also delivered customer service and escalation support, provided bilingual interpretation, and used GDS/travel booking systems—supported by my proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, and my ongoing Bachelor’s degree in International Business.
