Detail-oriented virtual and executive assistant with strong data and administrative expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Virtual and Executive Assistant with over three years supporting executives, teams, and businesses through reliable administrative, organizational, and technical support. I combine strong calendar and email management, CRM updates, and lead generation skills with professionalism and confidentiality.
My background includes roles as a Junior Data Analyst on a FarmerAI project at Safaricom, remote data analyst contracts, and team leadership in data insights and telesales support, where I prepared reports, managed databases, and coordinated cross-functional teams. I have hands-on experience with HubSpot, Airtable, Google Workspace, Microsoft Excel (including pivot tables and formulas), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, and other research tools.
I deliver high-quality results with minimal supervision, optimize workflows, and support decision-making through clear reporting and organized documentation. I seek to bring structured administrative systems, accurate data handling, and proactive client communication to a growth-oriented team.
