Charlotte D.

I'm a Virtual Administrative Assistant with almost 6 years of experience on Upwork and I wouldn't consider myself a salesperson, rather a problem solver and a service minded person. As a Virtual Administrative Assistant, I've gained a lot of knowledge within different fields like Investments, Fundraising, Law, International Organisations, Communication and Linguistics and I’ve worked with Companies and Entrepreneurs in the UK, USA, Canada, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. I’m familiar with, and use or have used, Microsoft Outlook 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Trello, Outlier, Zoom, Dropbox, Signable, Adobe Acrobat Pro and more. Tasks that I can help with include, but are not limited to, creating various kind of agreements; NDAs, MoUs, LoIs, Term sheets, Mandates and similar. Related to Law I can assist in the drafting of Witness Statements and Orders, prepare Interactive Bundles according to index, Applications and Filing of documents to the Courts of England and Wales. I know how to create companies on Companies House, make Confirmation Statements and Payrolls. I have also done some Customer's Support, Light Bookkeeping, Procurement, Translations, Content Writing and Annotation. I'm used to other Administrative Tasks such as Email Handling, Document Storage, Booking of Travel, Hotel and Conferences. Having a holiday home for rent together with my husband in our country estate, as well as being the host for two other properties, I'm familiar with Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com. I can help to create the ads on these platforms and help by also being a host. I'm available for part-time or sporadic jobs. My strengths are that I'm multi-lingual and I love to communicate and can do so fluently in English, Swedish and Portuguese, both spoken and written (I used to be fluent in Spanish, but after years of not using the language I'm a little bit rusty). With a Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Management, I started my career in the hotel industry first as a Receptionist in a five-star golf hotel in Spain and then continued as a Front Office Manager, first in a four-star golf hotel in Spain and later on in a four-star beach hotel in Portugal. My husband and I moved from Lisbon to Alentejo in southern Portugal in 2002. I was a housewife with some smaller projects until 2010 when I opened a candy store with Swedish candy. Almost two years later, my husband and I started a restaurant business that lasted for four years. We were forced to shut down the business due to health reasons. As a child I lived in various countries (South Africa, Peru, and Brazil) and due to my studies and jobs I've been traveling around in Europe (Sweden, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal). That's how I've gained a lot of knowledge about different countries and cultures, and I do have a sense of linguistic differences. Thanking you for taking the time to read through my overview I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Charlotte
