About
With a strong foundation in business administration and digital marketing, I have honed my skills as a Virtual Assistant and Administrative Specialist. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from Daystar University and have furthered my expertise with diplomas in Business Administration and Digital Marketing from The Open University and Atingi Academy, respectively. My professional journey includes roles at Viator, Easy Outsource, and Kibar Mos Hotel & Lodges, where I excelled in managing administrative tasks, optimizing communication, and enhancing operational efficiency. At Viator, I currently focus on streamlining multichannel communication and coordinating eco-conscious travel. My experience spans calendar management, document organization, and project coordination, supported by a certificate in Virtual Assistance from ALX Africa. I am committed to leveraging my skills to improve workflows and support business growth.
