About

I turn messy, manual workflows into systems that run themselves. Over the past 3+ years, I've worked behind the scenes for US-based businesses — wedding planners, hospitality brands, consultancies — building the operational backbone that lets them focus on clients, not admin. What that's looked like in practice: → Cut repetitive admin tasks by 35% with custom Zapier + AI automation → Improved client response times by 40% through better workflow design → Delivered 100% on-time coordination across every training program I ran Right now I'm doing two things: 1. Helping local service businesses (salons, HMAs, boutique brands) set up automated booking, CRM, and lead follow-up through AutomateWithJosh 2. Open to remote Operations, EA, or Training Coordinator roles with US-based teams If your business is drowning in manual follow-ups, missed bookings, or scattered client data — or if you're hiring for ops support — let's talk. 📩 [email protected]
