If your day starts with 50+ unread emails and ends with “Did I forget something?”… your business is running you.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a Virtual Assistant who handles the day-to-day operations so you can focus on actually growing your business.
I work with startup founders and CEOs who need someone reliable to take over the moving parts, without constant supervision or repeated instructions.
Here’s what I take care of:
• Keeping your inbox organized and up to date so nothing slips through
• Responding to Zendesk & Freshdesk tickets within 2 hours, maintaining high first-contact resolution
• Managing CRM systems (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce) with near-perfect accuracy
• Coordinating calendars across time zones with zero overlaps or missed meetings
• Tracking projects in Asana and Trello to ensure deadlines are met
• Handling client onboarding smoothly, with proven retention results
The impact? Less admin stress, smoother operations, and happier customers.
My approach is simple: structured systems, fast execution, and showing up like a true team member not someone you have to chase.
Tools I use daily:
Zendesk | Freshdesk | HubSpot | Zoho | Salesforce | Asana | Trello | Slack | Notion | Calendly | Google Workspace | Microsoft Office | Zoom | Live Chat
I’m open to remote Virtual Assistant and customer support roles with founders and CEOs worldwide.
