Ian Waithaka

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 am proficient in GHL, Asana, Slack, and Airtable, and I am comfortable using these platforms for communication, workflow management, task tracking, customer management, and team collaboration.

I am also highly proficient in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. I use these tools for data collection, analysis, research, reporting, presentations, documentation, and general administrative work. I also have experience using Microsoft Project for project planning, scheduling, task management, timelines, and monitoring project progress.

In addition to virtual assistance and administrative work, I have coding experience, mainly in Python, with some knowledge of JavaScript. I can design and develop small to medium-scale applications based on a specific purpose or business need. I am comfortable working on practical applications that automate tasks, organize information, process data, or support day-to-day business operations.

Research is also a major part of my skill set. I conduct online and academic research, organize and analyze information, and prepare clear research reports and professional documents using Microsoft Office tools.

Overall, my experience allows me to support clients across administration, digital marketing, podcast production, project management, data reporting, research, and technology. I am comfortable learning new systems, working independently, solving problems, and using both data and digital tools to help clients improve their workflow and achieve their goals.
