About

Executive assistant and operations coordinator who keeps busy people and teams organised, on time and a step ahead. I have supported a real estate agent, run the admin and stock for my own small online business, and worked remotely with international clients since 2019, so I am used to managing diaries, inboxes, client communication, invoicing and records without being chased. I give my all to everything I do, I care about getting the details right, and I am a multiple-time top performer who picks up new systems quickly.

Looking for an Executive Assistant or Operations Coordinator role where I can take real work off a busy person or team.
