Executive Assistant | Virtual Assistant | Project & Operations Manager

I help founders and executives manage inboxes, calendars, projects, and daily operations, tracking tasks, coordinating schedules, and ensuring deadlines are met so nothing falls through the cracks. I am a highly organized, proactive Executive Assistant and Virtual Assistant with over four years of experience supporting founders, CEOs, and growing teams in fast-paced, remote environments. I specialize in executive support, project coordination, and operations management, helping leaders stay organized, meet deadlines, and keep projects moving forward with clarity and consistency. I provide reliable day-to-day support through inbox and calendar management, scheduling meetings, coordinating travel, drafting professional emails, and handling follow-ups to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. I am experienced in managing executive priorities, tracking tasks and deliverables, and maintaining clean, well-organized documents and digital systems. On the project and operations side, I support project management by tracking timelines, coordinating across teams and contractors, organizing files and assets, preparing briefs and reports, and ensuring deadlines are met. My background in market research and reporting allows me to approach tasks with strong attention to detail, structure, and a strategic mindset. I am comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities, and adapting quickly to new tools and workflows. I work confidently across Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, and I have hands-on experience with project management tools such as ClickUp, Asana, Trello, and Notion. I am tech-savvy, dependable, and known for strong follow-through, clear communication, and discretion when handling sensitive information. If you’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Executive Assistant who can manage operations, coordinate projects, and provide proactive support so you can focus on growth and execution, I’d be happy to help.
