Why did you choose to be a VA and why does this lifestyle work for you?
Becoming a virtual assistant (VA) offers a range of benefits that align with my personal and professional goals. The flexibility to work when and where I want has been instrumental in achieving a better work-life balance.
As a VA, I have the autonomy to organize my day around personal commitments, such as caring for family members or pursuing other interests. This level of control over my schedule has allowed me to be more present in both my professional and personal life, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling lifestyle.
Additionally, working as a VA has provided me with the opportunity to utilize and expand my skill set in a variety of areas. The constant evolution and diverse nature of the work have been intellectually stimulating and rewarding. I have found that being a VA is not only a serious career choice but also a personally fulfilling one, as it allows me to continuously grow and challenge myself professionally.
Furthermore, the ability to work with a diverse range of clients and industries has broadened my professional network and market understanding. This variety has enhanced my adaptability and communication skills, making me more employable in various industries. The supplementary income I have been able to earn as a VA has also contributed to financial stability and provided the freedom to pursue personal aspirations. In summary, the lifestyle of a virtual assistant has proven to be an excellent fit for me, offering the perfect blend of flexibility, intellectual stimulation, and personal fulfillment.

What’s your superpower?
My superpower is being a multitasking master. With over 15 years of experience as a project management consultant and a business analyst, I have honed my ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously. This superpower allows me to ensure the seamless juggling of various responsibilities, such as email management, calendar management, meeting setting, and research. My multitasking prowess is fundamental to my success as a virtual assistant, and it is a skill that I am proud to showcase.
Describe your favorite place to work from.
My favorite place to work from is a cozy and well-lit corner of my home. I have set up a dedicated workspace with a comfortable chair and a personal touch, such as inspiring artwork and plants. This environment allows me to concentrate and stay organized while also being close to all the resources I need. The familiar surroundings and the ability to personalize my workspace contribute to a sense of comfort and motivation, making it an ideal place for me to be productive.
What is your top program/app that makes your life easier as a VA?
As a virtual assistant, my top program/app that makes my life easier is Trello. Trello is an excellent organizational tool that helps me manage and separate projects into various categories. It allows me to break down tasks into boards, cards, and steps, and I can organize a group by assigning them boards associated with their given tasks. The ability to interact with others in Trello reduces the number of emails in my inbox, leading to less going back and forth and more time to work on other essential tasks. This tool has been instrumental in helping me stay organized and productive in my role as a virtual assistant.
What hobbies or Interests do you enjoy?
I enjoy engaging in activities that allow me to continuously learn and grow. Some of my hobbies and interests include delving into the world of data analysis, as I find it both intellectually stimulating and rewarding. In addition, I have a passion for photography, which allows me to express my creativity and attention to detail. Reading is another interest of mine, particularly in the realm of professional development and industry trends. I also prioritize my well-being by incorporating regular exercise into my routine, as it helps me stay focused and manage stress effectively. These hobbies and interests not only bring me joy and fulfillment in my personal life but also contribute to my overall growth and professional development.
Describe your dream client.
As a virtual assistant, my dream client is an individual or business that values efficiency, clear communication, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. I thrive when supporting clients who appreciate attention to detail and the seamless management of their office or business operations. Additionally, I am particularly well-suited to assist clients who require a wide array of skills, from customer care and billing to meeting planning, scheduling, training, and coaching. I am dedicated to providing exceptional support and bringing great value to any business that seeks my assistance.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, I envision myself as a highly skilled and sought-after virtual assistant, having honed my expertise in various areas such as data analysis, project management, and organizational support. I aspire to have established a thriving and fulfilling career, providing exceptional assistance to clients who value efficiency, clear communication, and proactive problem-solving. Additionally, I see myself embracing a flexible and location-independent work lifestyle, potentially having the freedom to work from diverse and inspiring locations around the world.
Describe your perfect day off.
My perfect day off would start with a leisurely morning, perhaps enjoying a cup of coffee on my porch while listening to the sounds of nature. I would then engage in some form of light exercise, such as a walk or a yoga session, to invigorate my body and mind. The rest of the day would be dedicated to activities that bring me joy and relaxation, such as reading a good book, spending quality time with family and friends, or pursuing a creative hobby. I would also use this time to recharge and focus on self-care.
