Violet Mapondera

I'm a virtual administrative and project coordination professional based in Johannesburg, South Africa, with hands-on experience supporting remote teams through internships with Excellerate's Project Management Program and a global administrative skills initiative. I hold the Google Project Management Certificate, PMI-CAPM, PMI-RMP, and Disciplined Agile Scrum Master certifications, alongside practical experience with Asana, Trello, Jira, and Google Workspace. My background spans calendar and task management, stakeholder communication, documentation, and building reporting dashboards, gained through project simulations with Siemens Mobility and CBRE, where I developed KPIs and tracked risk and progress using Gantt charts. I currently facilitate weekly learning sessions for a youth mentorship program, which has sharpened my communication, adaptability, and ability to support people from diverse backgrounds. I hold an MSc in Social Work and a BSocSc in Organisational Psychology, which shape how I approach people-focused administrative and coordination work. I'm looking for a remote virtual assistant, administrative, or project coordination role where I can apply my organizational skills and certifications, grow into more senior responsibility, and support a team reliably across time zones.
