About Me
I am a freelance PA VA working either from my fully equipped office in London or from clients premises. I have over 10 years experience as a Personal Asisstant and have worked for a number of high profile organisations in and around London. I have been fully freelance for over 4 years and have built up a strong roster of clients.
I offer traditional PA services such as presentation creation, word processing, data entry, transcription and audio typing, meeting organisation, minute taking, travel planning and booking, research, invoicing, credit control, project management and event management. I also undertake a range of personal 'lifestyle' tasks such as keyholding, organising tradesmen, sourcing gifts, restaurant and ticket reservations and all the other things that can take valuable time out of your day. I have extensive experience with high profile individuals and specialise in the creative industries. I enjoy assisting people from all walks of life and have experience working with start-ups and sole traders.
As a fully freelance professional and not someone looking to substitute my income you can rest assured of my reliability and ability to turn around all work in a timely manner.
Areas covered: London, (if on-site). Anywhere in the UK for virtual services.

Vocal Process
I worked for this highly regarded Vocal training company as a freelance PA. I organised all aspects of the office, dealt with scheduling very hectic diaries and carried out extensive client liaison. I also assisted with carrying out marketing duties to help tailor the particular vocal courses to potential clients. I helped investigate new venues for courses and generally carried out a number of projects simultaneously from conception to completion.
This was a repeat booking totalling about £450 per month for 12 months...
