Executive Virtual Assistant at Lily VA Services, creating practical workflows and SOPs that keep operations consistent and priorities moving.
What I'm looking for
At Lily VA Services, I structure schedules and commitments around business owners’ priorities, keep follow-ups visible, and create practical workflows and SOPs. I also use AI-assisted tools to organize information and handle routine tasks.
At Linen Obsession Textile Trading LLC, I handled 10–15 daily customer enquiries and coordinated order processing and delivery follow-ups across three courier and delivery partners. I also prepared sales orders, quotations, and daily activity reports for management.
Running Lily & The Musical Memoirs taught me to coordinate performer schedules, event logistics, and service providers for a five-member live band. I bring that business operations experience to executive support, including inbox and calendar coordination, travel planning, CRM follow-ups, and workflow coordination.
