Ukela Benard
@ukelabenard
Organised VA & Customer Support pro with 4+ years helping teams operate smoothly. Remote-ready, detail-driven, and always reliable.
What I'm looking for
I’m Ukela Emmanuel Benard, a Virtual Assistant and Customer Support professional based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, with over four years of experience helping businesses stay organised, efficient, and client-focused.
My career spans administrative support, client relationship management, data entry, operational coordination, and executive assistance across industries including logistics, hospitality operations, and corporate services. I’ve managed high-volume inboxes, maintained CRM databases, processed invoices and payment records, prepared reports and documentation, and served as the primary point of contact for clients and stakeholders — all while working in fast-paced, remote-friendly environments.
I’m proficient in HubSpot CRM, Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook), Google Workspace, and Zoom, and I hold a Professional Virtual Assistant Certification. I bring a structured, detail-oriented approach to everything I do — I don’t just complete tasks, I make sure systems work better after I’ve touched them.
What sets me apart is my combination of operational reliability and strong communication. I understand that behind every smooth-running business is someone making sure the details are handled — and that’s exactly the role I thrive in.
I’m immediately available for full-time or part-time remote roles and am fully flexible across US and international time zones. If you’re looking for a dependable, proactive VA who takes ownership and delivers consistently — I’d love to be part of your team.
