What you can hand over

Six areas I handle end to end. Brief me once and stop thinking about it.

Research and reporting

Online research across topics, then compiling the findings and data into reports you can read in five minutes instead of an afternoon. AI does the first pass and the summarising; the checking and the judgement are mine.

Hand this over: research and reporting

Social accounts, graphics and copy

Running social media accounts end to end: producing the posts, editing photo and video, writing the copy and answering the comments. AI helps me draft faster; I edit it into your voice before anything goes out.

Organising is the part I enjoy

I want to make my mark in virtual assistance. I'd love to work with people and companies who give me the room to flex a sleek, polished style of support, the kind where nothing is dropped and nobody has to ask twice.

Right now I sit inside the Department of Education's regional office in Central Visayas, fielding public enquiries, running the media contact database and keeping press conferences on the rails. Before that I supported a remote instructional-design team across inboxes, calendars and research, and taught English and literature to secondary students.
