ABOUT ME - THE BUSINESS BIT

---

In June 2021 I waved goodbye to the UK and my usual 9 to 5 to pursue my dreams of travelling the world.  It felt a bit risky to leave during such a strange and unsettling time, and something I've learnt along the way is just how adaptable you need to be. It can be challenging, but this is where 15+ years of working in an office environment has helped me to stay focused, organised & flexible even when things aren't going my way. 

My previous work has included:   

• Account management for a global health company   
• Sales manager launching a new publication for a luxury concierge company    
• Senior broker for a small start-up finance aggregator  
• Business owner - starting my own finance brokerage
• Recruiter for a large UK recruitment firm - specialising in Customer Service    

All of these roles required expert organisation, high attention to detail, the ability to closely follow instructions, be reliable & professional at all times, stay motivated and manage my time but most importantly be able to openly communicate with my team and my clients.    

I pride myself in my work and continue to follow these principles as a Virtual Assistant. 

So, in order for me to provide the best possible service, I have expanded my knowledge of tools & systems, which includes;

• Google Workspace - document creation & organisation 
• Microsoft 365 - document creation including Excel 
• Calendly - planning & communication
• Twist - communication 
• Slack - communication 
• Zoom - video calls & conferences
• Skype - video calls & conferences
• Dubsado - business management 
• Trello - project management 
• Todoist - organisation tool 
• ClickUp - task management 
• Buffer - social media management
• Plann - social media management 
• Canva - Design & content creation
• Adobe Lightroom - Photo editing 

If you use other systems to those listed for communications or managing your tasks, I am always open to expanding my knowledge and services.
