I am Valentina. I am an administrative assistant and operations specialist based in Moncton, New Brunswick, working North American hours, and I have been doing administrative and technical support work for about ten years.
Half of what I do is administrative: inbox, calendar, follow-up, documents, reporting. The other half is technical: CRM cleanup, Zapier and Make automations, integrations, and website updates. Clients hire me because they would otherwise need two people.
Some of what I have done recently: replaced a 1,000-file manual document review with a one-click checklist, built a 200+ group outreach pipeline for an insurance advisor running webinars, and turned 14 months of coaching calls into one searchable knowledge base. I also ran an AI audit on a client's website that caught problems their developer had missed. On the admin side, that has looked like taking a consulting firm's Google Drive from unusable back to something people could find things in.
Clients have included nonprofits, professional associations, agencies, a university, and a national research consortium.
**Administrative and executive support**
* Email management and inbox organization
* Calendar management, scheduling, meeting coordination
* Client communication and follow-up
* Document preparation, file organization, research
* Reporting and data management
* Travel, event, and webinar coordination
**CRM management and cleanup**
* HubSpot, Keap, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho, Salesforce
* Contact cleanup, deduplication, segmentation, tagging
* Pipeline and deal stage setup
* Ongoing CRM management
* Reporting and dashboards
**Automation and integrations**
* Zapier and Make
* Google Apps Script
* Forms, tracking, UTM attribution, and API integrations
* Repairing automations that have broken quietly
**Operations and systems**
* Client onboarding and offboarding
* SOP creation and process documentation
* ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Notion, Trello
* Internal system cleanup and operational reporting
**Website and content**
* WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify
* Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign
* Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable, Systeme. io
* Canva decks, templates, branded documents
I take on ongoing monthly work. I will do a fixed price project if it has a clear end point, but retainers are what I am set up for.
If you tell me what is taking the most time each week and which tools you are using, I will tell you what I would do about it and whether I am the right fit.
