What I'm looking for
Career & Interests
I’m building my career as a Virtual Operations Assistant, bringing together my previous experience in accounting, records management, reporting, and administrative support with my newer skills in remote operations and digital tools.
My professional background started with accounting and records-related work, where I developed strong attention to detail, organization, documentation, expense monitoring, reporting, and data management skills. I later transitioned into virtual assistance and intentionally trained in areas that support modern business operations.
Through my VA training, apprenticeship, and OJT experience, I gained practical exposure to lead generation, online research, Shopify and e-commerce operations, website and product QA, data management, process documentation, and GoHighLevel. I’ve also worked on portfolio and case-study projects involving expense tracking, task management, lead generation, website QA, SOP/process documentation, funnels, and workflow organization.
I’m particularly interested in work involving operations, data, research, documentation, e-commerce, lead generation, and process improvement. I enjoy organizing information, identifying gaps, keeping workflows on track, and helping businesses operate more efficiently behind the scenes.
My goal is to grow into a reliable long-term operations partner who can take ownership of processes and provide consistent, detail-oriented support to growing businesses. I’m especially interested in remote opportunities where I can continue developing my skills while contributing meaningful operational value to a team.
