What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote work opportunities that allow me to utilize my administrative skills while providing excellent support to clients.

I am an experienced Virtual Assistant and Administrative Professional with a strong background in office management, data entry, and document preparation. My expertise lies in providing exceptional administrative support, managing emails, scheduling, and conducting thorough research. I pride myself on my strong organizational and communication skills, complemented by a typing speed of over 70 words per minute.

Throughout my career, I have successfully provided virtual administrative support as a freelancer since 2015, where I have honed my skills in proposal writing for solar energy projects and document editing for university lecturers. My previous role as an Administrative Assistant at Samantha Dunbar Physiotherapy allowed me to manage appointments and patient records effectively, ensuring smooth office operations. I have also held various administrative positions in government offices and financial services, where I managed databases and project documentation.
