What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Personal Assistant and certified Virtual Assistant with hands-on experience in executive support, calendar management, inbox organization, and meeting coordination. I hold a BA (Second Class Upper) in Mass Communication from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and completed the Aspire Leaders Programme at Harvard's Aspire Institute.
I have supported private clients and editorial teams, managing calendars, correspondence, digital filing systems, and meeting logistics to improve workflow efficiency and reduce scheduling conflicts. I have drafted and edited news articles, press releases, and feature stories while meeting tight publication deadlines.
As a virtual assistant trainee, I built structured task and project management systems using Notion and Trello, managed simulated executive inboxes, coordinated cross-time-zone meetings, and prepared concise executive summaries. I co-managed community training programmes and coordinated facilitator schedules for events serving 200+ students.
I bring strong written communication, discretion, and a calm, solutions-focused approach to supporting senior professionals. I leverage Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Trello, Notion, Slack, and Zoom to streamline administrative operations and deliver reliable, confidential support.
