Hi, I'm Jennifer, an Administrative and Operations Professional with 20+ years of experience supporting complex, fast-paced environments and keeping projects, people, and processes moving forward. My work is highly project-driven and includes project coordination, scheduling, vendor management, purchasing support, operational workflows, and communication across multiple stakeholders. I regularly coordinate timelines, track action items, manage documentation, and ensure follow-through so projects stay organized and nothing falls through the cracks. I have experience supporting construction and renovation projects, coordinating vendor quotes and purchase orders, managing schedules, tracking deliverables, and serving as a central point of communication between internal teams, vendors, contractors, and leadership. I am known for bringing structure to complexity and helping busy professionals stay organized, informed, and focused on higher-level priorities. I can help with: • Project coordination and operational support • Executive and administrative assistance • Calendar and scheduling management • Email management and communication • Vendor coordination and follow-up • Purchasing, quote tracking, and documentation • Meeting coordination and action-item tracking • Data entry, spreadsheets, and reporting • CRM and database updates • Website content updates (Drupal) My clients value my attention to detail, professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to independently manage tasks from initiation through completion. I am currently available for part-time remote opportunities and would love to support your business.

I am a freelance social media manager & video editor based in Iowa but I help clients all over the world! I have been a social media manager for 5 years and was a virtual assistant before that. Most of my clients have been with me for a few years, as I've been able to get them amazing results and a return on their monthly investment. As I've scaled and have taken on new clients, I started to build my team that I trained myself and we have expanded our services from social media marketing to also include email marketing, landing pages, lead magnets, building courses, launches, and more! If you're overwhelmed with the knowledge, time, and effort it takes to grow and sell on social media, then I want to help you! I have helped several online service providers grow their social media following full of TARGETED audiences who then convert into sales. Additionally, I have planned several launch strategies resulting in $20k-$80k launches with strategic email marketing, content planning, and targeted messaging. How does it work? I research, script, plan, edit, and post all of your content for you (or as much as you'll let me) and all you have to do is dedicate 2-4 hours per month to film the content I plan for you. What are you waiting for? Let's chat!

With 15+ years of administrative and customer service experience, I have impeccable research efficiency, organization, time management, and logical thinking skills. I'm proficient in most trending online office programs and tools. Professional communication is very important to me, as is the intention of developing a solid, trusting relationship with my clients. Writing and editing are both great pleasures, and with the advent of increasing use of artificial intelligence, I am staying current on both the impending integration of AI into our professional worlds, as well as the tools designed to promote and ensure original (human) writing takes precedence when needed. For clients using AI, a good editor will be needed regardless of the speed of AI evolution. Editing is a fine art, and very talented editors/writers will always be needed to compete with fully AI-written content. Social media content creation and management (including podcasts) cannot be both fully automated and successful. It's an ever-changing puzzle and requires human touch and attention. I'd love to help you engage and grow your audience!
