About Allison
My coaching clients take comfort in knowing that they can rely on me to effectively manage their needs with competence and grace. I have brought to my practice over 20 years of solid corporate experience, a rich educational background and superior virtual assistant training.
Corporate Journey
While working in the corporate world, I had the opportunity to build relationships with individuals in all levels of business, government and the military. Because I also had the benefit of interacting with people from around the world, I have learned about and have respect for cultures and customs other than my own.
Most of my roles were in the manufacturing and insurance industries ~ from managing complex aircraft programs as a project engineering associate, to being the right arm to diverse, highly respected executives as a senior executive assistant.

Training & Education
As a graduate of Assist University, I completed an intensive, 20-week training program. AssistU is the premier organization in the virtual assistance industry. While in the program, I was constantly challenged with stimulating assignments that ultimately helped me to achieve success as a virtual assistant. I enthusiastically embraced each concept I was taught and have implemented many of these positive principles into my own practice. At the conclusion of my training, I was invited to remain as a member of AssistU. My colleagues form an amazing community because each individual shares his or her own experiences and knowledge as virtual assistant business owners. This strong sense of community helps to continually enhance my skill set while providing me with the opportunity to tap into an abundant resource base.
Besides being an AssistU graduate, I have expanded my knowledge by completing many courses and certifications relevant to my practice and in supporting coaching clients. Some of these programs include:
- VA Classroom Product Launch Specialist (In Process)
- VA Classroom Social Media Marketing Specialist
- VA Classroom Blog Marketing Course
- Coaches Console Novice Certification
-
Techie VA Expert Ezines Graduate
In addition, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business from Bay Path College. Although demanding, the curriculum was rich with inspiring courses that provided me with a solid foundation to be a successful business owner.
Why Am I A Business Owner?
In my soul, I always knew I had the spirit of an entrepreneur. By aligning my experience and education with my enjoyment of helping others, I decided that operating a virtual assistant practice was an ideal fit for my lifestyle. It allows me the flexibility and freedom to pursue my personal interests, while being in control of my professional destiny.
My Vision
Because I’m extremely passionate about helping my clients reach their goals, I can’t imagine doing anything else. However, I don’t plan on becoming complacent ~ I have initiative and I am filled with curiosity, so it is natural for me to always have an interest in growing in new and exciting ways.
My objectives are to continue learning while constantly sharpening my skills ~ by advancing my education, keeping up with the latest technologies and exploring different methods in order to provide optimal services for my valued clients.
