Hello,
I have worked in the past as an Administrative Assistant and Data Entry Professional. I have spent some of my years raising my children and working part-time for my ex-husband, doing administrative duties. I also received an associate's degree during that time. I have chosen to work from home because I have a disabled daughter and need to be close to home to care for her.
I have been working online as a Freelance Virtual Assistant for the past 10 years. I have experience doing Lead Generation, Data Entry, CRM Input, Email Correspondence/Marketing, Data Scraping, Marketing Analytics, Marketing Research, and Internet Research.
I have expert to intermediate skills in the following applications: Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, WordPerfect, QuickBooks, WordPress, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Gmail, Shopify, Apollo, Airtable, HubSpot, MailChimp, OnePage, Muck Rack, LinkedIn, Salesforce, AppFolio, Confluence, Dropbox, and Slack.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards.

Hello! I currently work full time as a Residence Hall Director at a university. Each day I am using my strong administration skills to prioritize and delegate tasks as they pop up.
I have previous professional experience as an office manager and executive assistant. I oversaw the social media management at my previous company. I created blog posts, created engaging content, and managed our CRM system. I often interacted with our clients via email communications I created in Hubspot.
