I’m a Senior Virtual Assistant specialising in Secretarial Support, Governance, and Administration Services. With over 12 years of expertise in the Financial Services Industry in Guernsey and being STEP-qualified, I bring a wealth of experience to streamline your administrative processes.
Professional Background:
In my extensive career within a small independent fiduciary in Guernsey, I progressed from client-facing roles to a pivotal Company Secretarial position. My focus on managing company secretarial aspects for client companies and involvement in the end-to-end process for in-house companies and committees honed my skills. During this time, I also drafted, obtained approval for, and implemented new policies and procedures, showcasing my commitment to efficiency and compliance.
