What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote or hybrid roles supporting executives or startups where I can streamline operations, automate workflows, and enhance client communication and fundraising support.

I am an experienced virtual assistant with five years supporting executives, startups, and technical teams. I bring structure and calm to fast-paced environments, coordinating communication and project workflows to keep teams aligned.

At Goodwill Capital Communications I coordinated communication workflows across multiple departments, reducing project delays by 20%. I created and maintained detailed reports, presentations, and compliance documents, and translated technical updates into clear, client-friendly briefs.

I implement and scale automation and task-tracking tools (Zapier, Notion, CRMs, Trello, Asana, Airtable), introduced systems that cut miscommunication across remote teams by 30%, and supported investor communications and pitch-deck efforts to aid fundraising.
