The person behind the work.

My name is Ian, and I am a Virtual Assistant with experience in podcast editing, digital marketing, project management, research, data analysis, reporting, and basic software development.

I have worked with Riverside.fm to edit podcast recordings, trim videos, improve content, and create short clips that highlight important and engaging moments. I also have experience managing Meta Ads for BeaconBrand (Los Angeles, USA), collecting campaign data, and preparing performance reports to track audience reach, engagement, and overall campaign results. I use this information to identify the most responsive audiences and improve future campaigns. Through continuous testing and adjustments, I have helped refine advertising campaigns until they achieved nearly 100% of the client’s target goals.

I also work as a Sales Development Rep, running LinkedIn and email outreach for clients. I research and build prospect lists, write personalized connection requests and cold emails, follow up consistently, and keep every conversation tracked so qualified leads are handed over ready for a sales call.
