What I Do at AssistU

I’m a mentor.

My Bio

I started my journey to Virtual Assistance as a restaurant manager and later, as a systems engineer for a restaurant software company. I did not have any formal experience in administrative work but was always drawn to work that let me help people most. As a manager, it was for customers and staff, as a systems engineer, it was to help new restaurateurs realize their dreams.

I loved doing this, but another change came into my life in 2005, in the form of a baby boy. It was impractical for me to continue a job that required travel and late nights, and to be honest, it was not something I wanted to do. I began to search for a solution. I started looking for a way to use my administrative and customer service skills, and while searching the internet one day, I discovered Virtual Assistance and AssistU.

Now I am lucky enough to work for myself, doing what I love, and helping other people realize their dreams. I set my own hours, have fabulous clients, and get to spend time with my family. I also get the honor of helping new VA’s start their new businesses and set them on the path to their own success stories.

Quirky Things About Me

  • My office color is Lavender Heather.
  • I LOVE puzzles. Crossword, logic, jigsaw, Sudoku—I’ve never met a puzzle I didn’t love!
  • Baking makes me happy. Not so much so that I would want to do it full-time, but in occasional doses, I like being able to make something delicious.
  • I use way too many exclamation points and smiley faces in my casual online conversations!!!!!!!

One Thing I Love About AssistU

I love that AssistU VAs understand the value of creating and maintaining strong standards and boundaries, both for their clients’ businesses and their own. When you partner with an AssistU VA, you gain an ally in making your business everything you want it to be.
