Entry-level virtual assistant focused on scheduling, email, client communication, and integrity-driven productivity.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I help organizations run smoothly by handling virtual assistant responsibilities with integrity, focus, and strong communication. Through my experience with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I supported human resource operations like updating officers’ bio-data records, responding to staff inquiries, and file tracing, while also contributing to TICAD work through organizing, planning, accreditation, and facilitation.
I also bring media and digital strengths from my internship at Radio Africa Group, where I researched and selected organizing materials, wrote stories and ideas, shared the latest social media information, and interviewed multimedia celebrities. I’m proactive, dependable, and deadline-oriented, and I enjoy tools like Canva and Pinterest for visual content creation, plus community engagement through volunteer projects that help homeless children.
