Virtual Assistant
ALL WE HAVE TO DECIDE IS WHAT TO DO WITH THE TIME THAT IS GIVEN TO US.
– J.R.R. Tolkien
Time….. It's something we all wish we had more of so that we could spend valuable hours doing the things that we really want or need to do! The majority of professionals feel the need to be in control of certain aspects of their business which can become incredibly time consuming.
As a remote working Virtual Assistant, I provide executive, administrative and operational support to small and large businesses. By removing the stress of day to day time consuming tasks, this allows you the time to focus on the aspects of your business that really matter.
ABOUT ME
Having obtained 20 years Board level Executive Assistant experience, I have combined and developed my skills into a simple virtual support solution for professionals. I offer to take responsibility for your administrative and operational needs, allowing you to focus your time and energy on the important aspects of your business to help drive it forward.
I am extremely organized and highly detail oriented, enjoy solving problems and am able to follow instructions. I have experience in customer service, verbal and written correspondence, IT, data entry and research.
Should the opportunity present itself, I am able to develop new processes and improve on current systems in order to increase your productivity and that of your business. Assign me a project and I will find a way to complete the task, either by a skill that I already possess or by being proactive and learning new ways to master the challenge!
I have had the pleasure of working in various sectors and can quickly adapt to changing environments and business needs.
