  I successfully ran my own Virtual Assistant business alongside my part-time employed role – a fantastic experience from which I learned many new skills not traditionally gained in employed roles. Utilising over 20 years of experience as a PA/EA, I helped a variety of clients achieve more in running their own businesses efficiently and effectively. Offering full virtual PA support, I took on any tasks or projects my clients required in order to free-up their time so they could focus on what mattered most to them, be that generating revenue or more time with family. Hugely rewarding, I handled a broad range of projects including property renovation, rental management, proofreading websites and online course materials, drafting/designing presentations and sales/training materials, sourcing suppliers, party/event organising and travel research – no task was too big, or too small!
