Hi, I’m Karen, a Certified Professional Virtual Assistant since 2000, when I graduated from AssistU Virtual University. Before starting my virtual assistant career, I spent over a decade in the corporate world, working as an Executive Secretary, Administrative Assistant, and Branch Administrator across various industries, including printing machinery wholesale, financial consulting, chemical manufacturing, law firms, banks, and more. These experiences gave me valuable insights into managing complex administrative tasks at the highest levels of professionalism.
How I Became a Virtual Assistant
After relocating to the United States, I found myself at a crossroads. While I valued my corporate experience, I knew I wanted something different—something that would allow me to do what I love (administrative work) while offering the flexibility and freedom to be my own boss.
While exploring my options, I worked with a temp agency and joined the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). It was there that a colleague introduced me to the concept of Virtual Assisting and AssistU’s certification program. The moment I heard about it, everything clicked. I knew this was the perfect path for me. After completing the certification, I officially launched my Virtual Assistant career—and I’ve never looked back.
What I Do
For over two decades, I’ve partnered with amazing clients to provide tailored solutions to their administrative challenges. My mission is to help business owners focus on growing their business by handling the time-consuming tasks that distract from their core priorities.
Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than knowing my clients can work more efficiently and productively because of the support I provide. Whether it’s streamlining processes, managing schedules, or tackling critical administrative projects, I thrive on making their professional lives easier.
