I am an organized, energetic virtual assistant with 10+ years providing remote administrative support to executives, entrepreneurs, and distributed teams. I specialize in calendar management, email triage, virtual meeting coordination, and workflow optimization across Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.
Throughout my career I have supported senior leaders at agencies, public media, and entertainment companies, managing complex scheduling across time zones, handling expense reporting with QuickBooks, and maintaining cloud-based document systems.
