What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining counseling, social media, and virtual assistant responsibilities in collaborative, growth-focused teams where I can apply people-centered skills and technical tools.

I am a psychology graduate with practical experience in social media management, school counseling, and clinical supervision. I combine counseling skills with digital marketing and administrative support to deliver empathetic client service and effective online engagement.

My work history includes school counseling at Mikisa School, supervising fellows at Shamiri Institute, and managing social media and virtual assistant tasks for small businesses. I consistently create content, handle customer inquiries, support program delivery, and produce weekly reports to track outcomes.

I am organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, ClickUp, Notion, Canva and Adobe Illustrator; I bring strong teamwork, leadership and event-planning abilities to roles that require both people skills and technical competence.
