What I'm looking for
I’m a Qualified Virtual Assistant with 10+ years of experience in fast-paced customer service environments and warehouses. I’m personable and professional under pressure, self-motivated, and I work effectively in both independent and team environments. I’m seeking a part-time remote position where I can deliver reliable support day to day.
Recently, I worked as a Recruiter at Dropps (February 2022 - February 2024), working closely with managers to understand hiring needs and set DEI, skill, and performance hiring goals. I partnered on job descriptions and interview plans, kept roles moving at a steady pace, and maintained consistent communication with both hiring managers and candidates. I also grew and fostered a recruiting network through a database of diverse, qualified talent.
Earlier roles strengthened my customer and systems skills, including Dropps Customer Experience (April 2021 - February 2022), where I handled tickets efficiently and empathetically across chat, phone, and email. I used Zendesk, Gorgias, Shopify, Smile, and Shipstation, multitasked in a fast-paced environment, and escalated concerning issues to management while keeping customers calm and supported. I’ve also brought operational strength as COO (developing and manufacturing 100% all natural facial and body products, organizing shipping/timeliness, and maintaining client communication databases) and as a receptionist managing high-volume scheduling and records.
