Virtual Assistant

I am interested in the position of Virtual Assistant

With over 8 years of experience in school office administration and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, I bring a blend of administrative, detail-oriented, organisational, operational, and communication skills to any professional setting.

I provided

administrative support to the principal, vice principal, and small management teams, as well as the larger school environment. This experience has equipped me to manage day-to-day office operations and administrative tasks, coordinate teams, and streamline systems for greater efficiency.

I always try to be proactive and attempt to find better ways to get tasks done rather than solving problems. An example of this is that I implemented and maintained a full-scale administrative platform such as Edupac, which enhanced the efficiency of processes from enrollments, curriculum planning and implementation, and financial administration. It manages scheduling and communication with both the school and parents. Training all users in the new systems is something I enjoy very much.

I also tackled the school marketing, building a solid brand presence and effectively implemented marketing campaigns for over two years. During this time, the school doubled in size, causing the school to split into two campuses, High School and Primary School.

I am very competent in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Gmail), and other office automation tools. With my marketing background, I gained experience in Canva and Adobe programs like Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. Recently, I have been venturing into the world of AI, but I cannot say that I am proficient in it yet.

I also worked remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown period, and I am confident in my ability to function independently or as part of a distributed team.

During the time I worked in a financial capacity. I handled large-scale financial reconciliation, supplier management, and reporting, all requiring attention to detail and the ability to manage sensitive data accurately and confidentially.

I have a strong, creative, and entrepreneurial spirit. I am the founder of Proverbs31Designz, a custom vinyl printing and design venture and Gerook, a whiskey & cocktail smoker venture.

I am a proactive, detail-oriented person who thrives in fast-paced, ever-changing environments. I work well in a team, but just as well independently. I enjoy challenges and continually learning new skills.

I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your team and bring my administrative and operational strengths to your organisation. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can add value to your team.

Warm regards,

Antoinette Pieterse
