About Amani
Fitted with the cape of a childhood dream, Amani Brown’s academic career has reflected her goal of becoming a Veterinarian. Little did she know that, right at the tail end of her pre-veterinary track at University of South Florida, she would have a passion in all things VetMed AND all things social media. Amani has an enthusiasm for marketing and an attitude for helping businesses to maximize digital marketing activities and get noticed in the right channels.
Amani’s desire to always do better is the driving force behind her excellent social media management and content creation skills. Her most recent position within a non-profit volunteer organization has expanded her expertise into graphic design as well. Amani is proficient in many social media content creation and management platforms like Canva, Zoho Social, and Later and she is excited to bring those skills to assist with marketing your business. Not only will she create eye-catching graphics but her writing skills will deliver results.
When she’s not rocking it out as a virtual assistant or keeping her Veterinary Assistant skills sharp, she can be found spending time with friends and family or in a cuddle puddle with her roommates’ cats, Taka and Razz.
Social Media Management: Hootsuite, Zoho Social, Later
Graphic Design: Canva, Pixlr E

Principal Workforce Development Consultant, People Culture Consulting
My experience with TRUSTY OAK was wonderful…getting my website more organized and cohesive. Having someone else take a deeper look at my website was really helpful and inspiring — we literally gave it a whole new look and feel. This freed up my time to focus on other things that I don’t usually have time for. Hannah was always available when I needed her and had a lot of great ideas and brought a fresh new perspective to my marketing. I felt like I was in really good hands and can highly recommend TRUSTY OAK.
Pascal Simon
Owner and Founder of Bake Austin
TRUSTY OAK rocks! I couldn’t be more pleased about the quality of work and their personal touch. With Amber as CEO, I can count on her to understand our needs, to be a great communicator, and a wonderful resource for us. I am continually impressed with how professional and capable TRUSTY OAK’s virtual assistants are. I highly recommend TRUSTY OAK to provide outstanding administrative assistance to organizations like ours.
Dona Raskin
Founder of Austin Kids Can!
Working with TRUSTY OAK has been an absolute pleasure. After several failed attempts with other VA firms, I have finally found a responsive, trustworthy, dependable assistant…adding much more value than the bare bones inbox and calendar management I was looking for. If you’re looking for a fractional assistant you can trust from day one, I highly recommend you work with TRUSTY OAK.
Tim Hamilton
Founder & CEO of Praxent, Austin, TX
My VA has done more for me in 20 hours of work than I’ve done in probably a year of just making things up on my own. That’s not a sales pitch, infomercial, or me being paid to say what I’m saying. It’s true. I’ve gotten a business card designed, a logo designed, website updated, streamlined for SEO, content written, colors and fonts changed, things I would have never thought about if I was doing this on my own.
Dave Bahr
Founder and CEO, In-Sightful Living
Adulting is hard. Entrepreneuring is harder. I don’t know where I would be on either if Trusty Oak hadn’t come into my life when they did. Partnering with them has allowed me to scale my business, organize my life, and accomplish goals that would have been out of my reach without their support. Their team is diverse in skillset and background—over the years I have been able to lean on them for everything from scheduling and travel booking to bookkeeping and invoicing to process engineering and implementation. They are proactive, trustworthy, and receive an enthusiastic recommendation from me!
Ilana Zivkovich
CEO, Werq
As an entrepreneur with several projects going in different directions, it’s hard to prevent some things from falling through the cracks. I’ve asked for a diverse list of tasks and they have done them all in stride, quickly, and way too politely. You can count on TRUSTY OAK to get things done fast and correctly, freeing you up to focus on building your business.
It took a while to open to the idea of a VA – as a new business owner, I thought I could do everything. Well, I was wrong! Letting go of the things I don’t know how to do, or don’t do well at all and handing them to TRUSTY OAK helped me immensely. They take care of my website and social media and much more, and leave me time as the business owner to do the stuff I’m good at.
Eyal Gallico
Founder & IT Professional at TopMac, Austin, TX
I have worked with Amber on several website projects and her work is top notch. I am amazed by her attention to detail and her ability to drive a schedule. If you want something done well, and fast, TRUSTY OAK is what you are looking for!

Trusty Oak’s virtual assistant services have plugged a gap in our administrative needs and made my life easier during a year of hectic travel. Genny got up to speed quickly in understanding the nature of my work, and she’s efficient and professional in helping to manage complex calendaring and travel arrangements. This virtual arrangement has worked seamlessly for us!
