Even though I went to college, just to go into debt, and simultaneously worked my ass off to become the dancer and actress I always dreamed of being.. I fell into administration work. And I was good at it. My brain just thrives off of typing up juicy but professional emails, organizing and creating structure.

I had many admin jobs to survive. I had great (and not so great) experiences but they each taught me very important lessons and gave me what I needed to BE MORE.

When I had my daughter in late 2020, I was working from home since our office became virtual from the pandemic. I was juggling learning how to take care of a baby, getting through postpartum and still working trying to be the employee my boss knew me as. It got to the point where I had so much guilt trying to balance it all that I was ending every day in literal tears. I was running on someone else’s schedule and just could not get a grip on everything.

I came across a video about someone creating the best life for themselves by starting their own virtual assistant business. It instantly clicked and I fucking ran with it.

From early 2022 to now, I have created a sustainable business, quit my previous job, and am able to cherish the time of my daughter being so young. I am forever grateful for every single one of my past, current and future clients. The goals are endless and I want to bring you all with me.

My business journey

I was always someone who knew I was destined for more than what the world taught me growing up. I had big dreams and worked hard, against what everything was pushing me to do. I fought for that childhood dream of becoming a dancer and actress on the television. I moved to the big city people told me to fear – New York City.

I learned how to get over hurdles and grew so much as a person. I miss walking everywhere, the little ma+pop shops and the spontaneous subway ride that would take you somewhere new.

Life led me to my birth state, northern Florida, where I continued my acting. At my first acting class in Florida, I met my, now, fiancé. We now own a house, have a beautiful toddler and two Australian shepherds.
