Detail-oriented virtual and administrative assistant improving operations and workflow efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Virtual and Administrative Assistant with over two years' experience supporting teams across education, retail, and operations. I focus on calendar coordination, document organization, customer service, and technical troubleshooting to keep teams productive.
At JAURAAT Model Academy and JAURAAT General Ventures I implemented documentation and procurement systems, streamlined communication workflows, and supported startup expansion through vendor and client connections. These efforts contributed to improved data accuracy, reduced administrative follow-ups, and a measurable increase in operational reach.
In project and retail roles with TIBIT Ltd. and RovingHeights Bookstore I supported cross-functional teams, improved quality control and inventory accuracy, and enhanced customer-facing processes. I also operate a Moniepoint POS business, managing high-volume transactions and resolving technical issues to maintain service reliability.
I bring practical experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft Excel, CRM and POS systems, Trello/Asana, and scheduling/automation tools. I am committed to optimizing workflows, improving reporting accuracy, and delivering reliable virtual support that lets managers concentrate on strategy.
