My name is Vanessa Harrison.
I’m a proactive and results-driven professional with over 2 years of experience in administrative support. My background has equipped me with strong skills in organizing schedules, managing correspondence, and improving workflows—skills I’ve applied in roles like Legislative Aide at the Nigerian National Assembly and as a Secretary at Mascot Associates Ltd (a construction company).
I’m also a certified Virtual Assistant through ALX, where I developed expertise in remote collaboration tools, email and calendar management, and customer relationship management platforms.
One of the things I love most about this career path is the opportunity to solve problems creatively and help teams achieve their goals efficiently. I take pride in my attention to detail, time management, and ability to adapt to new challenges quickly.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring ways to grow personally and professionally, such as learning new productivity tools or improving my organizational techniques.
