My career journey began in the late '80s, a time when small businesses and start-ups were the breeding ground for unparalleled professional growth. Starting as a receptionist, I quickly climbed the corporate ladder to become a prominent sales associate for a groundbreaking company that revolutionized the world of video overlay for computers. This thrilling era of technological advancement provided me with an array of skills and versatile roles, from Channel Sales Manager to Strategic Alliance Manager. Immersed in the dot com realm, I thrived alongside pioneering companies that laid the groundwork for the internet as we know it today.
Navigating Life's Unexpected Twists and Embracing New Opportunities |
However, as life invariably unfolds, the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, leaving me without employment for a year. This unforeseen setback became an opportunity for self-reflection and introspection, during which the concept of a Virtual Assistant first caught my attention. Although I focused on securing new employment at the time, this seed of curiosity grew within me.
I soon found an exciting position in the marketing department of the esteemed Houghton Mifflin Publishing, where I expanded my skill set to encompass product marketing and graphic design. Working as a product marketing assistant, I experienced the exhilaration of witnessing concepts blossom into marketable products. This invaluable experience seamlessly merged with my existing expertise, forming a solid foundation for my professional growth. Chapters Unfolding in the Serenity of New Hampshire |

Over the course of 13 enriching years at the Tuck School of Business, I thrived in the career development office, fostering profound relationships with brilliant minds among students and professors alike.

When Life Paves a New Path

These unexpected turns have paved the way for self-discovery and exciting new paths to traverse.
In 2020, I successfully scaled my business into a dynamic agency, comprising a team of four sub-contractors who bring their unique expertise to serve our clients.

With an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results, I recently transitioned my business into two distinct services: digital marketing and business services.

Every steppingstone along this awe-inspiring journey has reignited my passion, allowing me to offer invaluable support to my clients by leveraging the vast knowledge and experience I have accumulated over the years. Continual learning fuels my determination to deliver collaborative and tailored services that cater to the unique needs of each client.
