Thirty years’ experience ~

With 30 years' experience, I offer online assistance giving you peace of mind in fulfilling your administrative needs, accurately and in a timely manner to support your everyday business and personal administration.

Wide and varied skills ~

I am a versatile graduate PA, with wide experience in customer service, office and project management including property, logistics and website content and data management. I am proficient in French, having started my career in Paris, France, and can offer French to English translation as well as making telephone calls and writing emails in French.  

My skills have been gained within a multi-national corporation, as a civilian administrator at a military station, working for a myriad of small businesses, in education support and in engagement within a membership organisation.  I have also advised private clients seeking live-in care for themselves or their loved ones.

Career highlight ~

My career highlight has been working for a VIP foreign diplomat managing one of the UK’s top value historic estates and other high-end properties in the United Kingdom and France and also managing his highly valuable private antiques and fine arts collection, organising shipping and storage, as well as cataloguing and building inventories.  All of which I can put into practice for my clients’ benefit.

Who am I? ~

A loving mother and grandmother who cares deeply about people and likes to celebrate important things in life.  I have been lucky enough to have travelled and lived far and wide. I am creative, like to draw and sew and I love history, archaeology, architecture, nature and wildlife, music, singing and theatre, gardening, and my dog and two cats.
