One of the things I’m often asked is:

"How on earth did you get started in all this?"

​

Self-employment was never something I dreamt of. After graduating university in Nairobi (armed with a BA in Communication), my first job was at a well-known Public Relations firm, an experience that honed my media relations, event management and project management skills. I immigrated to the US in 2013, all bright-eyed & bushy-tailed, determined to make my mark in the land of the free. However, it was not as easy as I hoped.

 

It was a challenge to find work that fulfilled me- and I wasn’t one to ‘settle’ for whatever job was available, just to make a paycheque. I tried my hand at Sales & customer service (and realized that it was NOT for me)... after several years of searching - and the occasional temp or odd job- , I found a freelancer website, which turned out to be an answered prayer.

 

I began to build my portfolio and actually got to PICK my own clients! This was a turning point in my career, and the fact that I could work from home made it the perfect venture. In 2016, I started my career as a virtual assistant- an opportunity which allowed me to combine a multitude of seemingly unconnected things: my ability to organize anything, my time-management skills, entrepreneurship, creativity, & my obsession with planning. It all made sense. 

​

In the midst of growing my business and family, I studied for the Civics and History test, and became a proud American citizen in 2019! 🇺🇲

When I’m not working on client projects, you can find me doing a photoshoot, painting a nature scene, reading (aka listening to) a good novel (Grisham, Sheldon, Crichton, Picoult & classics like the Brontes), or dancing to some Latin and African music. I also enjoy spending time with friends & watching a good movie with my 1st grader son (Sonic or Sing 2 are his current favourites) or getting snuggles from my infant daughter, the temperamental LEO 😁).
