I’ve always thrived on being useful. Whether it’s colour-coding a calendar or wrangling a wild inbox — I’m in my element when I’m needed.

That instinct kicked in from an early age. When I was young, my mum was diagnosed with MS, and I naturally stepped into the role of helper, organiser, do-er. No surprise then that at 16, straight out of school, I found myself in the HR office at my local Sainsbury’s — running payroll while my peers were still figuring out what a payslip was.

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in HR, Recruitment, and Operations for over ten years, working across a wide range of organisations — from Lipsy London to Liberty Global, Travelex, and Sir Tony Blair’s nonprofit. I’ve supported start-ups and corporate giants alike, coordinated projects, improved processes, and supported to implement new systems. If I haven’t done it yet, I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and learn on the job.

But here’s the twist — I’m also an actor and voice artist. I know! Business by day, creativity by whenever-I-can. I’ve never believed you have to be good at just one thing. I love structure, but I also love surprises. And I’ve built a career (and a life) that lets me have both.

These days, I work as a virtual assistant and coordinator from my cosy corner of South West London — supported by my husband Jack (head cheerleader) and our dog Pringle (head of barking at nothing in particular). I bring warmth, energy and efficiency to every project I take on. Whether you want someone to take the reins or quietly keep the cogs turning, I’ve got you.

I adapt to your style — whether you’re all-business or partial to a Monday morning pet update. I’m highly organised, people-savvy, detail-focused, and always one step ahead. I’ll bring you ideas, calm in the chaos, and a human touch to your to-do list.

If you're looking for someone down-to-earth, dependable, and a delight to work with (if I do say so myself), I’d love to chat.
