Get to know me
Hi, I’m Zara, I work from home in Northamptonshire where I live with my husband and son. I like to consider myself super organised, I absolutely love getting things in order and finding improved ways of doing things.
I’m a bit of a stationery hoarder and I have quite a good collection of plants. I love being by the sea, and just being in nature in general. I like interior design, art & crafts and DIY and would love to do a renovation project one day! Oh, and I can’t survive without multiple cups of tea! (before 9 am!)
I’m honest, reliable and trustworthy, what you see is what you get! I’m very intuitive and good at adapting my approach to suit different projects and personalities.
Faffing is not my thing! I like to get the job done and complete it to a high standard. People I have worked with would describe me as exceptionally organised, dependable, proactive, and likeable. I’m able to work quickly and efficiently and I’m very easygoing and love getting to know people.
Key Skills & Experience
Being able to offer an elevated customer experience has been at the core of my career and it remains to be super important to me. I am currently working with small service-based businesses, from Coaches and Consultants, to VA’s and Beauty Salons.
I help my clients with a variety of tasks from basic administrative tasks to more specialist techy projects. I’m great at project management and love taking on projects such as event and programme management - I find it really rewarding to see it all take shape.
I’m confident using different systems and If I don’t already know the system I will take great pleasure in figuring it out. I have experience working with clients who have a lot on their plate, I’m told that I’m very patient and good at helping them to un-muddle!
