I'm a Travel VA who helps clients reclaim their time through thoughtful logistics, and a knack for spotting disruptions before they happen

What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can optimize operations, improve client experiences, and drive measurable results through process improvement, clear communication, and cross-functional teamwork.

I help travelers and busy professionals stay two steps ahead of chaos.

My path here is a little unconventional: I trained as a meteorologist, which means I spent years learning how to track unpredictable systems, anticipate disruptions, and communicate critical information clearly under pressure. Turns out—that's exactly what great travel virtual assistants do.

I specialize in logistics, operations, and proactive problem-solving. Whether I'm constructing complex multi-leg itineraries, coordinating across time zones, or managing inboxes with surgical precision, my goal is always the same: give my clients back their time and peace of mind.

A few things I'm proud of:

  • Predicted a Saharan dust storm 5 days out and rerouted backpacker clients to save their South American trip

  • Eliminated 40% of scheduling conflicts by implementing a centralized digital booking system

  • Cut response times by 40% while managing 250+ monthly customer interactions

  • Grew audience by 1.2K+ followers and boosted sales 25% through content strategy

I'm organized, intuitive, and genuinely care about the people I support. If you're looking for a VA who thinks ahead, communicates clearly, and treats your business like it's her own—let's talk.
