Email Address:-Phone Number: Cynthia Gold Okeke Helsinki, Finland-\- https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/cynthia-gold-Okeke- Dear Hiring Manager, Tuesday, 01 July 2025 I am writing to express my keen interest in remote opportunities within your organization, particularly in roles related to Virtual Assistance, Project Management, Administration, or Content Writing. With a well-rounded background that combines administrative experience, healthcare knowledge, digital skills, and a strong work ethic, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your team. I bring over three years of administrative and secretarial experience, having worked as a Personal Secretary and Office Administrator to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in Abuja. This role sharpened my communication, organization, and task management abilities , skills that are essential in supporting executive functions remotely. Additionally, I hold professional development diplomas in Virtual Assistance (including Canva, Trello, Asana, and Google Workspace), Project Management, HSE (Health, Safety & Environment), and Human Resource Management , which have prepared me to handle diverse workflows with precision and efficiency. My educational background as a nursing and paramedic student in Finland has nurtured a deep sense of responsibility, compassion, and adaptability. I’ve applied these qualities in roles as a caregiver in care homes and as a volunteer at the International Council of Nurses (ICN) global conference. These experiences have strengthened my interpersonal skills and ability to work under pressure-qualities equally valuable in virtual and administrative settings. Beyond my professional credentials, I am fluent in French at B2 level, tech-savvy, and deeply passionate about helping people and organizations stay organized, efficient, and goal-driven. I also have experience with leadership training for adolescents, and I value teamwork, personal growth, and contributing to meaningful causes. In my free time, I enjoy writing, designing and learning new tools, and staying updated with global health and development trends. I am excited about the possibility of working in a dynamic, mission-driven environment where I can bring together my diverse skill set, international perspective, and strong sense of initiative. I am highly adaptable, eager to learn, and ready to contribute to a team that values innovation, collaboration, and purpose. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with your needs and how I can add value to your team. Warm regards, Cynthia Okeke
