What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote or hybrid role as a virtual/administrative assistant where I can apply strong organizational skills, support operations, and grow with a collaborative team.

I am a proactive, highly organized virtual assistant with hands-on experience in administrative support, project coordination, and customer-facing roles. I deliver careful schedule and email management, clear communication, and reliable multitasking across competing priorities.

My background includes internships in municipal and educational administration where I managed correspondence, filing, data entry, visitor support, and coordinated workshops and registrations. I also have retail experience supporting customers, payments, and promotional events.

I adapt quickly to new digital tools and online platforms, support budgeting and vendor coordination tasks, and bring a positive, can-do attitude focused on accuracy, problem solving, and dependable service.
