What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Virtual Administrator role where I can take ownership of reception, email, data capture, reporting, and confidential administration—supporting teams with accuracy, reliability, and smooth day-to-day operations.

I’m a highly organized and reliable Virtual Administrator with 20 years’ experience across Healthcare, Education, and Branch Admin environments. I’m known for being a dependable first point of contact—managing reception and patient assistance with professionalism, accuracy, and discretion.

In my most recent role, I supported accounts receivable, data capturing, reporting, daily banking, stationery control, and petty cash, while handling confidential patient result reporting. I also bring strong administrative fundamentals from earlier education and secretarial experience, including classroom administration, goal check reports, parent/teacher communication, event coordination, and training new staff.
