I have worked in many different industries; the main ones being Construction, Transport and Haulage, Property Development and Telecommunications. I have provided admin supporting services to each of them with duties such as personal assistant, fleet manager, book keeping, event management, and establishing and streamlining office processes and procedures.


I am a highly motivated, organised and hard-working person. My key strengths include: strong attention to detail, with excellent planning and organising techniques with the ability to clearly communicate objectives. I thrive at building and maintaining new and current customer relationships at a variety of levels. I am also very trustworthy, loyal and comfortable accepting any responsibilities entrusted to me.


With a young family, workplace balance has increasingly become important to me and having a flexible work day allows me to devote myself to your business as and when beneficial to us both.

I have worked as a Personal Assistant / Executive Assistant for over twenty years working mainly for businesses in the banking, insurance underwriting, private equity, aviation, and recruitment sectors. I have worked in some very full on and demanding roles in London and gained a mass of corporate experience and knowledge throughout these jobs.

I have always had a passion for organisation, helping create new and more efficient processes and supporting small and large businesses with their day-to-day administration.

I started working working for Laura and Sarah at Positive VA Solutions in January 2023. I am hoping my many years of experience as an EA and a business owner will help Positive VA Solutions with their many wondaful clients and I can be a fantastic asset to their growing business.

With a robust foundation of 8 years in digital marketing and social media, my career is anchored in leveraging online platforms to drive business growth and enhance brand visibility. My expertise spans from building various content websites to starting an online property management business in Spain and eventually specialising in content creation, audience engagement, and strategic marketing campaigns. These experiences have not only sharpened my skills in crafting compelling narratives and managing dynamic online communities but also in analysing market trends to devise targeted strategies.

At PVAS, my role is intricately focused on applying these skills to optimise social media presence and digital marketing efforts, ensuring that every campaign is aligned with our clients’ objectives for growth and engagement. I use a combo of digital tools and research to create tailored marketing strategies that resonate with target audiences and yield tangible results. I work remotely with UK businesses, from my home in sunny Marbella on the Costa del Sol.
