Administrative Assistant with 10+ years supporting operations, customers, and data.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant with over 10 years of experience providing administrative, operational, and customer support in fast-paced environments. I deliver high-quality remote support with minimal supervision by managing email and phone communication, scheduling, calendar management, and customer service—while staying accurate and professional under pressure.
In my current role supporting a busy government office, I respond to internal and external inquiries, coordinate meetings and follow-ups, maintain organized digital and physical filing systems, and prepare reports, spreadsheets, meeting agendas, and official documentation. Previously, as a Data Entry Officer (Contract) with IEBC, I entered and verified sensitive election data with accuracy and confidentiality, and generated administrative reports under strict deadlines. I bring a strong toolset across Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, plus Slack, Zoom, Trello, Notion, and cloud-based collaboration to keep teams aligned and operations running efficiently.
