Hi! I’m Jackie, a highly organized and adaptable Virtual Assistant with experience supporting founders, startups, creative teams, and nonprofit/mission-driven organizations. I help manage the moving parts behind operations, admin, outreach, content coordination, and internal systems so teams can stay focused on the bigger picture. I supported a YouTube SEO agency, where I assisted with SEO/admin operations, outreach coordination, backlink and guest post tracking, content workflows, lead research, VA coordination, email drafting, SOP creation, and weekly deliverables. I’m used to managing multiple moving tasks at once, keeping trackers updated, following up with partners, reviewing submissions, and making sure projects keep moving without things falling through the cracks. I also support a non-profit organization, where I help with admin operations, volunteer onboarding, Google Drive organization, documentation, forms, scheduling, team communication, workshop-related tasks, remote session support, and internal process improvements. This has strengthened my ability to work with different stakeholders, organize information clearly, and create smooth workflows for both internal teams and external collaborators. Before transitioning into freelance work, I worked as a Technology Consulting Associate at KPMG Philippines, where I performed IT General Controls and SOC audits for multinational clients across telecom, manufacturing, and finance. This background gave me a strong foundation in structure, attention to detail, confidentiality, security awareness, and process-driven work. What I Can Help You With: - Founder and executive support - Inbox, calendar, and meeting management - Project coordination and task tracking - SOP creation, admin documentation, and process improvement - Outreach coordination, follow-ups, and lead research - SEO/admin support, backlink tracking, and content coordination - Volunteer or participant onboarding - Google Drive and file organization - Form handling, scheduling links, and internal team coordination - Social media scheduling and light content support - Remote session support using tools like Cleanfeed, Calendly, and Google Drive - Newsletter creation and publishing - Community management across Discord, Reddit, and other platforms - Shopify updates and basic e-commerce support On the creative side, I use tools like Canva, CapCut, Sora, and AI tools to create brand-aligned visuals, videos, captions, and platform-specific content. I also have experience helping with newsletters, social media posts, and light video editing for short-form content. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. I’m also a fast learner, so even if a task is outside my current experience, I’m confident I can learn it quickly, ask the right questions, and deliver what you need. Tools I Use Regularly: Google Workspace, Canva, CapCut, Sora, Buffer, Calendly, HubSpot, ClickUp, Notion, Fathom, Cleanfeed, Shopify, Discord, Slack Let’s make your operations easier, smoother, and more organized — together.

Most virtual assistants learn administration from a course. I learned it inside a pharmacy, a clinic, and a boardroom. I am a licensed pharmacist turned Executive and Medical Virtual Assistant and that combination is rare. It means that when I manage your healthcare operations, I do not just follow instructions. I understand the clinical context behind them. I know what accurate documentation means for patient safety. I know what a missed appointment costs a medical practice. I know the difference between urgency and routine in a healthcare environment and I act accordingly. For C-suite executives, founders, and busy professionals, I bring that same precision and proactive thinking to your calendar, inbox, and daily operations. Nothing falls through the cracks. Nothing is left waiting. You stay focused on decisions that move your business forward while I handle everything that keeps it running. Here is what I take off your plate: ✅ Executive & Administrative Support Calendar management, inbox zero, meeting coordination, travel itinerary planning, SOP creation and documentation, meeting minutes, office administration, virtual office management, document preparation, and end-to-end administrative coordination. Tools: Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Zoom, Calendly, Acuity. ✅ Medical & Healthcare Virtual Assistance Patient scheduling, remote patient coordination, telehealth support, clinical documentation assistance, prior authorization support, medical billing support, SOAP notes organization, medical administrative tasks, and HIPAA-compliant handling of sensitive patient information. Tools: EMR/EHR systems including DrChrono and Kareo, scheduling platforms, Google Workspace ✅ Wellness & Client Support Client onboarding, follow-up sequences, CRM updates, virtual receptionist support, and communication management for coaches, wellness brands, and service-based businesses. Tools: Canva, email platforms, CRM systems ✅ Operations & CRM Management Lead tracking, data entry, client data organization, administrative coordinator functions, workflow coordination, and business operations support. Tools: HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Airtable, ClickUp, Trello, Asana, Notion. I have supported clients across executive, healthcare, and wellness environments and I bring the same standard to every engagement: accuracy, confidentiality, speed, and zero dropped balls. My pharmacy background means I already understand medical terminology, clinical workflows, and the weight of handling sensitive patient information. When you hire me, you are not onboarding a general assistant and hoping they figure out the healthcare side. You are bringing in someone who already speaks your language from day one. I do not need hand-holding. I do not need micromanaging. I need to understand your goals, your systems, and your standards and then I get to work. If you are a medical professional, clinic owner, telehealth brand, busy executive, or founder who needs someone they can genuinely rely on, not just someone who shows up and ticks boxes, then we should talk. Send me a message. Tell me your biggest operational headache. I will tell you exactly how I can solve it.

Resources to help you hire

Virtual assistant hiring guide

A skilled virtual assistant can take on the administrative, technical, and creative work that pulls your attention away from higher-priority goals. From inbox management and bookkeeping to customer support and content scheduling, a VA helps businesses of all sizes run more efficiently.

What does a virtual assistant do?

A virtual assistant handles a wide range of remote tasks that keep businesses organized and running smoothly. Depending on their experience and specialization, a VA might focus on one area or support several parts of your operations at once.

Common day-to-day virtual assistant responsibilities include:

  • Managing email inboxes, filtering messages, drafting replies, and flagging urgent items

  • Scheduling meetings, coordinating calendars, and booking travel arrangements

  • Handling customer service inquiries through live chat, email, or help desk platforms

  • Preparing reports, organizing spreadsheets, and maintaining databases

  • Doing bookkeeping and invoicing, using tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks

  • Managing social media accounts, scheduling posts, and drafting content with tools like Buffer or Hootsuite

  • Conducting market research, competitor analysis, and data entry

  • Coordinating projects using platforms like Trello, Asana, or Notion

  • Handling platform-specific tasks like Amazon marketplace management, including product listings, inventory tracking, and customer reviews

How to hire a virtual assistant on Upwork

Upwork gives you the tools to find, evaluate, and start working with a qualified virtual assistant in a matter of days. Here's how to approach each stage of the process.

Step 1: Post a job

A clear, detailed job post helps you attract virtual assistants with the right skills for your specific needs.

  • Specify whether you need administrative support, customer service, data entry, scheduling, research, or a combination of tasks

  • Describe the tasks you need covered, such as daily inbox management, weekly bookkeeping, or ongoing customer support

  • Indicate whether phone support, calendar management, or client communication is part of the role

  • List required tools and platforms — for example, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Slack, or a specific CRM

  • Specify availability expectations, including hours per week and any time zone overlap requirements

  • Include details about communication preferences and how you'll share tasks or feedback

  • Clarify the level of independence expected, from task-based execution to proactive support

  • Share your expected budget

  • Use the virtual assistant job description template as a starting point to make sure you cover the essentials

To save time, try the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will draft a targeted job post for virtual assistants that you can review and customize.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Once proposals start coming in, focus on candidates whose skills and experience match the type of support work you need.

  • Look for experience supporting businesses similar to yours in size or industry

  • Review examples of calendar management, customer support, scheduling, or administrative coordination work

  • Evaluate written communication skills and attention to detail in proposals and profile content

  • Check work history for relevant experience, e.g., a candidate who has managed inboxes for e-commerce businesses, for example, will ramp up faster than a generalist

  • Review portfolios or work samples if your role involves content, social media, or creative tasks

  • Review each freelancer's Job Success Score (JSS) and client feedback to gauge reliability

  • Look for Top Rated or Top Rated Plus badges as indicators of consistent performance

Uma can generate candidate shortlists with side-by-side comparisons so you can quickly identify the strongest fits. Uma also offers instant video interviews, giving you a sense of each candidate's communication style before scheduling a longer conversation.

Step 3: Interview top choices

Interviews help you assess qualities that a profile alone can't reveal, like responsiveness, problem-solving approach, and communication clarity.

  • Ask how they manage inboxes, calendars, and recurring administrative processes efficiently

  • Discuss experience handling confidential information and sensitive business communications

  • Explore how they stay organized when managing multiple clients, projects, or priorities

  • Ask how they prioritize competing tasks when multiple deadlines overlap

  • Discuss their experience with tools specific to your workflow and how they've used them in past roles

  • Explore their communication style, such as how often they provide updates and how they flag issues

  • Review our virtual assistant interview questions for role-specific prompts, or explore executive assistant interview questions if you're hiring for higher-level support

Schedule and conduct interviews using messaging on Upwork. You'll get an immediate transcript and summary of each conversation, making it easy to compare candidates without relying on notes alone.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Setting clear expectations  in a formal contract before work begins helps both you and your new VA stay aligned from day one.

  • Choose between a fixed-price contract for projects with defined endpoints or an hourly contract for ongoing support

  • Define the specific tasks, deliverables, and any recurring responsibilities your new hire will own

  • Agree on a work schedule, including expected hours per week and preferred check-in cadence

  • Share access to the tools, accounts, and documents they'll need to get started

  • Establish protocols for task assignments, priorities, and response-time expectations

  • Clarify which decisions they can make independently and which require approval

  • Define procedures for handling confidential information, customer communications, and account access

Built-in features on Upwork keep everything organized once work is underway. Use messaging and the contract workroom to collaborate. Identity verification confirms who you're working with, while Hourly Payment Protection and hourly tracking cover time-based contracts. Project funds help you manage milestone-based payments.
