About me
A motivated and organised Australian Virtual EA who brings sound leadership, communication and business development skills acquired from over 25 years of experience working within varying industries in administrative positions from Receptionist to PA/EA and Virtual Assistant.
As a Virtual Assistant since 2012, I've honed my organisational and planning skills ensuring I deliver on my commitments. I am self-motivated and think proactively with high levels of intuition and sound prioritisation skills. I own a deep passion for helping busy business owners to get organised, simplify their systems and regain their time and energy to focus on the activities they love and do the work that they went into business to do.
When working with me, your important but time-consuming administrative tasks will be accomplished with absolute discretion, proficiency and confidentially. I’m fully capable of carrying out any tasks an onsite PA/EA or Office Administrator can do, only I work in my own office.

Who inspires you?
Louise Hay inspires me greatly. She overcame childhood abuse, rape as a teenager and cervical cancer through searching and finding a true sense of belief and forgiveness. Through her writing, she inspired so many with her motivational and inspiring books.
From her 1st book Heal Your Body, which she self-published in 1976, she goes on to establish Hay House in 1984 and today, Hay House is the primary publisher of books and audiobooks for over 130 authors.
I feel a deep spiritual connection and focus when using her mindfulness techniques and affirmations while journeying throughout my life.
Louise quoted, 'Every thought we think is creating our future.' This is a quote that I am constantly reminding myself of, as I hope to have a beautiful future; so I think beautiful thoughts.
How do you continue to grow your professional skills?
To be honest, the learning never stops as a Virtual Assistant.
I started my Virtual Assistant business utilising my sound leadership, communication and business development skills acquired from over 25 years of experience working within varying industries in administrative positions from Receptionist to PA/EA.
As a Virtual Assistant since 2012, I've honed my skills garnered from working with varying business clients and through observing other successful Virtual Assistants growing their businesses.
By fully committing to my own personal and professional development I'm being a better business owner and virtual assistant. This means scheduling the time to do this, staying current with the latest software and applications and frequently researching short online courses that add to knowledge to what I already know.
