My skillset varies with a strong emphasis on transcription and assisting. I am able to transcribe upwards of 85+ words per minute. With exceptional communication skills and a strong grasp of the English language, I consider myself to be a great candidate for proofreading and editing. I have extensive experience coordinating both within a legal and medical setting. Should you choose to give me the opportunity to collaborate with you on projects, you will be given top performance.

I've spent 15+ years handling the operational and administrative work that lets business owners actually focus on their business, and for the past several years, that's meant running my own virtual assistant services, supporting solopreneurs, coaches, consultants, and wellness practitioners with exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes work that keeps things running. Here's what that looks like in practice: I manage inboxes and calendars so nothing slips through the cracks, build out client onboarding systems and documentation so processes don't live in one person's head, handle bookkeeping basics in QuickBooks Online (invoicing, expense tracking, reconciliations), and I'm comfortable being a business owner's voice on calls and in client communication when needed. I currently support a therapy-practice membership company through its multi-state expansion, and I've built lead-generation funnels, SEO-optimized content, and a Pinterest strategy for my own business. So if you need someone who can think about the bigger picture and not just check boxes, that's where I'm strongest. My toolbox includes Google Workspace, ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Trello, Wave, Canva, Calendly, Squarespace, and QuickBooks Online. I pick up new platforms quickly, and if there's a gap in my experience with something specific, I'll tell you honestly rather than pretend otherwise. I'm detail-oriented, low-drama, and genuinely enjoy taking a messy process and turning it into something clean and repeatable. If that sounds like what you need, I'd love to talk.
