✨Kitchen Chaos to YOUR Organized Calm: My Unexpected Journey to Virtual Assistance


April 6, 2025

“..your unique experiences, your 'diverse' passions, are your greatest assets…{&} what make your voice authentic and powerful.”


​

Many people ask me, "How did you go from being a Kitchen Manager Chef to a Virtual Assistant Business Owner?"

It's a valid question.

It’s no secret that I don't have a traditional background in administration. I call myself a multi-passionate professional - you don’t become a high school scholar athlete turned University of Notre Dame Alumna with a Spanish Bachelor’s degree with an ambitious passion for sharing food without being a little “diverse.”

Up until August of 2024, my world was a culinary bubble of creating beautifully delicious foods combined with an over flexible schedule, overstimulating kitchens, and a constant pressure to deliver “perfection” no matter what, even if someone else dropped the ball.

Looking back, I realize that my time as a Kitchen Manager was the perfect training for running my own Virtual Assistant business.

After leading teams in the fast-paced, high-pressure food service industry for over 10 years, with the last remaining half of that time serving top tier wineries and clients in Napa Valley, I have learned how to create sustainable systems that help creative entrepreneurs and leaders ultimately maximize profits and energy efficiency.

These kitchen-tested superpowers are exactly what YOU as a creative, multi-passionate professional need to thrive.

My journey up until now proves that your unique experiences, your 'diverse' passions, are your greatest assets. Embrace them. Own them. They are what make your voice authentic and powerful. Your story, just like mine, matters.

And together, we can serve your community with ease and empowerment!

Virtually Yours,

September 27, 2026 Hey Reader. Can I tell you a quick story? A while back, I worked with a client who was brilliant, energetic, and a total creative visionary. She needed a website refresh to reflect her evolving services properly, showcase her brand story, and make booking an absolute no-brainer for her ideal clients. After an initial inquiry, a consultation, an intro call, and a full website audit, we onboarded her. But by the time we actually started building, nearly three months had...

August 30, 2026 It's been non-stop, Reader. And I have been at capacity. Really over capacity, but still feeling under capacity… and still "struggling" to speak my boundaries. And in the past few months, I have been restructuring my services, building a “launch” to rebrand, and pursuing my certification for the Design Day™ framework (more on that later!). But, it's been a push. I keep telling myself, just keep building the momentum, keep building... on Saturdays, snippets of the evenings,...
