I am a virtual assistant with a background in graphics and website design. I also have experience creating newsletters and social media content. I have worked with small business owners & non-profits who needed help promoting their brand by creating newsletters, facilitating social media accounts, creating graphics, designing flyers, blogging and even doing some website design.

My background in business management means that I have real-world insight into what works and what doesn’t when it comes to your marketing efforts, so you won’t be wasting your budget on dead-ends. My hidden talents lie in finding the perfect words and images that will effectively communicate your vision and passion for your work while keeping a laser focus on your end goal.
