What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Administrative and Virtual Assistant with 6+ years of experience supporting government institutions, NGOs, and project teams. I specialize in email and calendar management, data entry, records management, documentation, and stakeholder coordination—remotely or on-site.
I’m known for being proactive, with strong attention to detail and discretion with confidential information. From audit-ready filing systems and OCR digitization to QA checks during national platform development, I integrate quickly into new teams and support both executive-level virtual assistance and day-to-day administrative operations.
