Detail-oriented Virtual Assistant combining Industrial Chemistry research skills with social media and admin support for health & wellness.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant with a science background in Industrial Chemistry, bringing a unique edge to health and wellness content support. I combine research, academic coordination, and administrative organization with consistent social media management.
I’ve coordinated schedules and organized course materials as an Academic Coordination Assistant, sending timely reminders and maintaining clear communication between lecturers and students. I also manage records and schedules across semesters to keep operations running smoothly.
My research and documentation experience includes leading a group project on food dye safety using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and producing detailed reports with organized data in spreadsheets. I’m comfortable conducting literature reviews, summarizing findings, and benchmarking results against regulatory standards.
Ongoing, I plan, create, and publish content across Instagram and Facebook—writing captions, designing graphics with Canva, scheduling posts, and engaging with followers and DMs. I’m reliable, work well independently, and communicate clearly across time zones, with availability for 10–20 hours per week.
