Gaylyn A.

I help busy founders, executives, and growing teams stay organized, responsive, and ahead of their to-do list — so nothing falls through the cracks. I'm Gaylyn — an Executive Assistant and Operations Coordinator with 10+ years supporting busy founders, executives, and growing teams: doing content creation, social media marketing, managing inboxes and calendars, coordinating projects, handling research, and keeping priorities on track. I also bring hands-on recruitment and data-operations experience — sourcing and screening qualified professionals for research studies, reviewing respondent data for quality issues and red flags, configuring LinkedIn Recruiter filters, and reporting pipeline status to managers — plus AI data annotation work, so I'm equally comfortable in people-facing and detail-heavy data environments. I pair deep operational experience with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Apollo, Clay, and more) to work faster and catch more than a standard task-by-task VA setup. What I bring: Executive support — inbox/calendar management, scheduling, research, follow-through Recruitment & CRM — candidate/respondent sourcing, LinkedIn Recruiter filtering, data-quality review, pipeline reporting Operations — SOP documentation, workflow coordination, project tracking (Asana, Trello, HubSpot, Slack) Marketing support — social media management, Meta Ads, Canva content AI fluency — AI-assisted research and drafting, plus direct AI data annotation experience Data direction — BS in Statistics, developing Excel/SQL/Power BI skills I adapt to the tools and workflow you already use rather than asking you to change how you work, and I'm comfortable operating independently across U.S. time zones. Top Rated on Upwork with a strong track record of reliability and follow-through. 3+ years supporting U.S.-based clients via phone, email, and chat. Former market research interviewer. Online English teacher. I communicate clearly, work independently, and always follow through. If you're tired of micromanaging your operations and want someone who runs things — let's talk! You JUST FOUND your BEST EA!
