Executive & Operations Virtual Assistant | Right-Hand Support
Hi, I’m Kristin — a proactive Executive & Operations Virtual Assistant who acts as a trusted right-hand to founders, executives, and service-based business owners who need structure, follow-through, and calm execution without micromanagement. I specialize in managing priorities, organizing operations, and keeping the moving pieces of a business or personal workload on track. My clients rely on me to anticipate needs, handle details independently, and bring clarity to fast-moving ideas so they can focus on growth, decision-making, and their personal lives. I bring over 7+ years of experience supporting leadership teams and operations in high-trust, detail-driven environments. I’m highly organized, discreet, systems-minded, and comfortable owning work from start to finish. Clients work with me when they need someone who: Anticipates next steps instead of waiting for direction Manages priorities, follow-ups, and deadlines reliably Brings structure and accountability to daily operations Communicates clearly, professionally, and proactively Can be trusted with sensitive information and decisions Executive & Business Support (Primary Focus) Managing priorities, tasks, and follow-ups Calendar and scheduling management Inbox oversight and organization Research, planning, and decision support Travel, event, and itinerary planning Expense tracking, bill management, and record organization Digital file organization (Google Drive, Dropbox) Owner support and accountability Operations & Systems Support Workflow creation and process improvement SOPs, checklists, and internal documentation Intake and tracking systems KPI tracking and dashboards (Excel / Google Sheets) Process audits and gap identification Consistency and quality control support Communication & Materials Support Polished email and client communications Canva documents, guides, and presentations Training slides and internal resources Branded PDFs and decks Relevant Experience Snapshot In a previous role, I supported the launch of an entirely new behavioral health service line across multiple schools. I coordinated stakeholders across multiple administrations, managed intake workflows, tracked insurance and billing readiness, and built detailed tracking systems to give leadership clear visibility into operations. This work required independent problem-solving, proactive communication, and ownership without step-by-step direction.
