What I'm looking for
I am a Virtual Assistant transitioning from a successful career as a freelance writer and digital marketing specialist, bringing over a decade of hands-on experience managing content, clients, and projects.
I excel at administrative support, calendar and file management, and clear client communication, and I am highly proficient with Microsoft Office, Google Docs, cloud services, and social media management tools.
My work has included content creation, email and social media campaigns, and project coordination; a notable achievement was improving an email marketing open rate from 12% to 57% for a client.
I am detail-oriented, tech-savvy, self-directed, and proactive, with strong customer-service instincts and a track record of meeting deadlines and supporting cross-functional teams.
