What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote role where I can leverage my expertise in CRM management, digital marketing, and executive support to optimize business operations, streamline workflows, and drive growth. I value a culture of learning, collaboration, and innovation, where I can contribute strategically while continuously developing my skills.

I am a business administration professional with over 10 years of experience, specializing in executive support, CRM management, and digital marketing. I have supported C-level executives, streamlined operations, and managed key business functions across industries including events, administration, and virtual business management.

My expertise lies in combining traditional executive assistance with modern digital tools—managing CRMs (HubSpot), automating workflows, and executing social media and email marketing campaigns. I’ve worked on projects ranging from database administration for corporate insurance funds to building marketing campaigns and websites for SMEs through my venture, Nexa Business Solutions.

I thrive in fast-paced environments where precision, adaptability, and confidentiality are essential. Beyond administration, I am passionate about helping businesses grow through tech-enabled operations, digital strategy, and creative marketing.

Interests: Executive support, CRM & automation, digital marketing, business operations, entrepreneurship.
