What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated virtual assistant with a strong background in managing business office functions and providing executive-level support. My experience includes assisting with administrative duties, calendar management, and stakeholder engagement, all while maintaining a high level of discretion and efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed various tasks, including overseeing Airbnb properties, conducting market research that resulted in the identification of 3+ target markets for Ideate & Scale product development, and developing innovative programs like the Guru Apprenticeship System that connect students with research platforms with the Guru Innovation Hub. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ongoing professional development, including certifications in accounting from the University of Calabar and digital marketing.
I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in project management, communication, and strategic planning to contribute to organizational success. I am eager to bring my talents to a new opportunity where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact.
