Reliable and Experienced Virtual Assistant

As an entrepreneur, I know you want to be focused on being face-to-face with your customers, dedicating your time to delivering your service/product, and not worrying about finding extra time for administrative work.

But here’s the thing about me: I LOVE doing all that “behind the scenes” work and helping you!

I’ve always enjoyed the never-ending pursuit of self-development and learning.

And I’ve come to accept my top strength – which is being an Achiever.

Whether it’s researching, writing, reading, hitting benchmarks, or taking on the simple challenge of proving someone wrong when they thought I couldn’t do something.

This transferred heavily – and contributed to – my deep desire to work for myself. Because everytime I realized I didn’t know something, I figured it out by taking courses and being hands-on.

I’m best known for my organization. I often joke that I’m OCD about it. But in reality, I’m so organized in every area of my life that it is no laughing matter!

More valuably to my clients: as an intuitive and empathic person, I put myself in the shoes of one’s audience/client to ask “what would work best? so that I can bring suggestions and complete tasks appropriately.

All of these traits are combined with my 10+ years of experience in office adminstration & management roles, and with my learnings and experience as a business owner.

What Made Me An Experienced Virtual Assistant

Starting with my first full-time job in 2005, where I was the Receptionist & Executive Assistant for a family-owned office supply company, I’ve built up my experience supporting small businesses…

I’ve mostly held roles as an Office Assistant/Administrator or Office Manager; where I wore 5 different hats and worked with small teams of 1-8 people.

But I’ve also worked in the corporate world as part of regional & national Head Office teams; doing administrative work for Human Resources and Marketing departments, and processing payroll nationwide for 5000+ employees.

Then in 2018,
I quit my job so that I could finally start my first business.

As my business grew and transformed over the years, I had some revelations as unexpected doors opened for me.

And that is where this story gets interesting…

Something unexpected happened with my business…

Ever since I started it, I’ve seen the bulk of my revenue come from freelancing for fellow entrepreneurs!

Other business owners started coming to me for advice because they know I am organized.

They knew I would always have an answer for something they are struggling with or an idea for something they didn’t realize they were missing.

It wasn’t long before I created long-lasting relationships with entrepreneurs by simply becoming their virtual office administration team.

So I looked at this as its own venture and embraced it!
