Hi, I’m Nadine! I am a virtual assistant and admin support specialist, with a background in psychology, HR, and creative business. I help small teams and business owners stay organised by handling admin tasks, inboxes, documents, Canva designs, HR templates, and providing day-to-day support. I’m reliable, easy to work with, and I take my work seriously — but I like to keep things simple and calm. Some of the things I can do: - Admin support (email, scheduling, file organisation) - HR basics (onboarding docs, staff info, templates) - Canva designs for internal docs or branded material - General VA support for solo entrepreneurs or small teams I’m also a small business owner myself (africapaws.co.za), so I understand how important it is to have someone you can count on. If you need quiet, focused support behind the scenes, I’d be happy to help.

My experience as a virtual freelance worker started more than 10 years ago. Each new project allows me to learn new skills to take forward and apply to new projects, as each client is unique in their way of working and what they require. Extensive experience in all things administrative, from internet research, data entry, word processing, project management, and marketing. Other than a four year BA degree in Communications, I completed a course in project management with University of Cape Town. Have expert knowledge of all Office programs, and have WordPress experience.

I help founders and early-stage teams turn chaos into structured execution across operations, hiring, compliance, and internal systems. I operate as a Chief of Staff–style partner, meaning I sit close to leadership and take ownership of making sure things actually get done, not just planned. Most of my work involves stepping into fast-moving environments where priorities change often, clarity is limited, and execution speed matters more than hierarchy. What I typically handle: - Building and running end-to-end hiring systems (technical + commercial roles) - Managing recruitment pipelines from sourcing through to final interviews and offers - Leading operational projects that require structure, tracking, and cross-team coordination - Coordinating leadership priorities across multiple workstreams - Managing compliance processes (including large-scale rollout projects across 700+ people) - Handling legal coordination and structured documentation workflows - Improving internal systems, processes, and operational efficiency - Acting as the central execution point between founders, finance, and operations I work best when: - There is ambiguity that needs structure - Things are moving fast and need coordination - Founders need someone to “own the how” - Multiple priorities need to be executed in parallel I tend to step into problems, structure them quickly, and ensure they move to completion without constant follow-up. Key Strengths - Founder & Executive Support - Operations Design & Execution - Recruitment & Hiring Systems - Process Improvement & Workflow Design - Compliance & Large-Scale Coordination - Cross-functional Project Management - Remote Team Coordination - Legal & Contract Workflow Management - Systems Organization & Operational Cleanup
