I bring a combination of formal education and decades of hands-on experience supporting businesses across multiple industries.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a focus on Management, which provides a strong foundation in business operations, leadership, and strategy.
In addition, I’ve completed training and certifications in:
I’ve also received specialized training in both grant writing and business plan development, enabling me to effectively support clients with funding strategies, proposal development, and the creation of strong, structured business plans.
Beyond formal education, I bring over 30 years of real-world experience, including 15 years in the construction industry and 15 years providing virtual assistant and business support services.
This blend of education and practical experience enables me not only to understand how businesses should operate but also to effectively support and improve them in real-world settings.
My journey started in the construction industry, where I worked as an office administrator for a commercial general contractor. In 2009, during the Great Recession, I was laid off—and like many others at the time, I had to rethink my path.
Instead of waiting for another opportunity, I decided to create one.
In 2010, I started providing administrative support as an independent contractor, using the skills and experience I had built over the years. What began as a way to stay afloat quickly grew into a business as more companies needed reliable, organized support behind the scenes.
Over time, clients began asking for more than just administrative help—they needed guidance with operations, structure, and growth. That demand naturally led me to expand into business planning, grant support, and consulting.
Today, JL Administrative Services, LLC is built on that foundation: helping business owners not only stay organized but also move forward with clarity, confidence, and the right support in place.
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients across service-based industries, supporting both established businesses and growing entrepreneurs.
My experience includes working with:
I also support startups and small business owners who need help building structure, securing funding, and improving day-to-day operations.
This diverse experience allows me to quickly understand different industries and provide practical, tailored support that meets each client where they are.
Choosing the right support can make a big difference in how smoothly your business runs, so it’s important to be intentional in the process.
Start by clearly defining what you need help with. Whether it’s administrative support, business planning, or funding assistance, knowing your priorities will help you find the right fit.
Look for someone with experience in your industry or similar business models. This allows them to step in more efficiently and understand your workflow without a steep learning curve.
Pay attention to communication and reliability. You want a provider who is responsive, professional, and keeps you informed, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.
Make sure you understand the pricing and scope of work upfront. Clear expectations on both sides help avoid confusion and ensure a smoother working relationship.
Ultimately, the goal is to find someone who not only completes tasks but becomes a trusted partner in helping your business stay organized, efficient, and positioned for growth.
I love what I do because I get to help business owners move from feeling overwhelmed and unsure… to clear, confident, and in control.
I’ve been on the other side of uncertainty—especially when I started my business—so I understand how challenging it can be to manage everything on your own. That’s what drives me to be more than just support. I aim to be someone my clients can rely on for structure, guidance, and peace of mind.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing a client go from scattered and stressed to organized, focused, and growing with confidence. Whether it’s helping someone secure funding, build a solid business plan, or get their day-to-day operations under control, I know the work I do makes a real impact.
For me, it’s not just about tasks—it’s about helping people build businesses that actually work for them.
