This covers everything from inbox organization and email correspondence, ad hoc research, responding to customer service inquiries in the voice of the owner or business, problem-solving client issues, website updates, and beyond. Truer to an “assistant” approach. Coming from a background in executive assisting, I embody time management, reliability, and attention to detail.
-
This is where things get strategic – this includes creating a cadence where we get together and discuss the current state of your business, where you want it to be, and how to get you there. We identify current issues, potential solutions, all while keeping the vision for your business top of mind so we progress in alignment with your goals.

Whether you need assistance in curating your brand’s “voice” or need someone to grasp onto the tone you’ve already implemented, I love the process of learning or developing a brand’s voice and emanating that into all I write. I have written copy for email campaigns, monthly newsletters, website booking and FAQ pages, social media, podcasts, and more.

Photo editing, email marketing flows, content calendars, graphic creation, branding guidance, setting up opt-in forms, with new skills always in the works.
My “Why”
When I was little, I used to tape one of each kind of my Halloween candy to a board, price it, and sell it to my (many) brothers. I loved collecting coins from couch cushions and on the streets so I could buy 99¢ ice cream at the corner store with my dad. When my family received marketing mail asking for help with cancer research fundraising, I dutifully addressed the materials to each of my neighbors to collect donations. I sent handwritten letters to my elementary school friends after I moved away, full of updates, silly inside jokes, and of course… stickers. I’ve always had an innate passion for business, crafting communication, and a heart for helping others.
Over the years, I have naturally gravitated towards entrepreneurial friends, contacts, & online accounts to follow on social media. Something about female empowerment and women-run teams lights up my soul like nothing else! I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of freelance teams where I was a Virtual Assistant, Copywriter, and & Creative Consultant, which made me realize I am utterly & completely passionate about helping women-founded small businesses reach their ultimate potential. If you are ready for the next step in your business, I am your right-hand gal!
From Emylee Ratzlaff, owner of The Shuffle Vault
“I love brainstorming with Annie because she gives great insight on my ideas and also provides unique ideas of her own. She’s thoughtful and insightful with a creative but analytical mind.”
From Alexis Smith, online coach & owner of The Feminine Glow
“One of the best decisions I have ever made for my business and my life has been hiring Annie. From the moment we connected, I felt I could trust her, depend on her, and build with her. I was in amazement seeing how effortless it was for her to join my team and understand my business structure. I am constantly telling her how I feel she just reads my mind, and how much I appreciate her going above and beyond for my clients and community.”
From Amy Conte, Social Media Creator & owner of Flow With Amy
“Annie is a pleasure to work with. She’s professional, patient, and offers a unique POV when it comes to sharing ideas and providing feedback. She is down to earth and extremely personable, making each project and experience working with her more impactful than the last. I feel more confident in my work with Annie’s guidance and I encourage others to find the same trust in her offerings.”
Benefits of working with me
-
We’ve all heard the phrase – “time is money,” meaning your time is your most invaluable asset. Outsourcing tasks that are either 1) taking away your joy or 2) detracting from your ultimate potential are things I can happily take off your plate. It’s a win-win, because you get to reserve your brain power for high-level creativity & revenue generating activities, and I feel SO much joy in lightening your load.
-
Not only am I able to see the current state of your business from the ground up from an assistant perspective, but also from a bird’s eye view as a creative consultant. This is an incredible asset as I can suggest improvements both bottom-up AND top-down, meaning we will be able to 1) get more shizz done, more efficiently and 2) improve from every angle, ultimately increasing your revenue. Combining strategy + operations = happy, thriving customers (and a happy, thriving you!)
-
What sets me apart is my undevoted passion to your business. With each client I’ve worked with, the common thread is not the industry, the personalities, or the service/product being sold… it is the passion and fire I bring – my willingness to go above & beyond to make the business thrive. If you are ready to have someone to not just work with you, but truly stand beside you cheering on your wins and strategizing after loss, look no further! You’re in great company.
-
I have experience working both alone and on teams, so I can shape-shift to fit whatever your business looks like! Whether that’s just Zoom calls and emails between you and I, creating agendas and attending team meetings, or organizing team events, I can do it all. I am highly flexible with a variety of skills, aligning new learning with the needs of your business. Technology and business will always be evolving, and so will I!
