Hello! This is Nazan, based in the UAE for the past 8 years. I hold a degree in Tourism and Hotel Management, with 4 years of experience in hotel events and reservations, and over 9 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Office Assistant and Household Manager in international companies and family offices. Throughout my career, Iโ€™ve supported high-profile executives and multinational teams from various departments in international companies with demanding schedules and complex responsibilities. Iโ€™ve managed multi-timezone calendars, coordinated global travel (from visas to private villas and hotels), and organized international events, conferences, and meetings. Iโ€™ve also handled office administration for teams of 40+, and overseen luxury household operations across the UAE and Europe, including staffing, purchasing, and property and car maintenance. Currently, I work as a freelance Virtual Assistant, offering flexible support across time zones. Iโ€™m well-versed in tools like Zoho, ClickUp, Notion, Monday.com, SharePoint, Sortly, Adobe Acrobat, Dropbox, Teams, Slack, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. Iโ€™m a fast learner, a proactive problem solver, and someone you can truly count on. If a task is possible, Iโ€™ll explore every option before saying it canโ€™t be done. Iโ€™d love the opportunity to support you and help make your life easier.
