What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote opportunities with international companies, founders, and busy professionals where I can own executive and administrative support, communicate clearly, streamline workflows, and keep priorities moving.

At the Collaborative Centre for Gender and Development, I support donor-funded financial operations, from payment processing and reconciliations to quarterly reporting and audit documentation. I've improved reporting accuracy, reduced reconciliation discrepancies by 20%, cut petty-cash errors by 15%, and shortened audit document turnaround by 25%.

I've also streamlined administrative workflows, managed budgets, contracts, and stakeholder coordination, and bring experience in financial advisory, sales, customer support, and data tracking. I'm open to remote Executive Assistant, Virtual Assistant, and administrative support opportunities where I can take ownership and keep day-to-day operations moving.
