What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in Business Operations, Executive Support, and Operations Coordination while expanding my skills in process improvement, business systems, documentation, and AI-powered productivity.

I'm currently coordinating operations at Amini Business Consulting, where I maintain operational databases, manage project schedules and executive calendars, and keep client meetings moving across time zones.

I implemented Zapier automations connecting client inquiry forms to internal databases, reducing manual administrative work by more than five hours each week. I also organize documentation and records so teams can access reliable information and collaborate efficiently.

Previously, I provided remote administrative and executive support at Vyemma Virtual Assistants, where I managed executive inboxes, coordinated meetings and webinars, and redesigned Google Drive structures to reduce document retrieval time by 20%.

My background in Mathematics and Computer Science supports the way I approach data, systems, and process improvement. Alongside my operations work, I partner with entrepreneurs and small businesses as a freelance graphic designer, managing projects from consultation through delivery.
