What does an executive virtual assistant do?
An executive virtual assistant provides remote administrative support so you can focus on leading your business. I help with inbox and calendar management, appointment setting, travel coordination, research, customer support and other tasks included in your package.
How quickly do you reply to messages?
I aim to respond within one business day. Messages received outside working hours are handled during the next business day. Any package-specific communication arrangements are agreed in writing before we begin.
What are your working hours?
I work Monday through Friday, 10am–6pm Central Time. We agree on deadlines and communication expectations during planning; support outside these hours is not included unless separately agreed in writing.
How do you handle confidential information?
Your business and personal information stays confidential and is used only to carry out the services you request. Access is limited to what is necessary, and confidentiality continues after our work ends. Use delegated account access or a password manager rather than emailing or texting passwords. Read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for details.
Do you only work with clients in Dallas-Fort Worth?
No. I am based in DeSoto, Texas, and serve business owners and executives in Dallas-Fort Worth, across Texas and nationwide. Services are delivered remotely.
Can a virtual assistant manage my inbox and calendar?
Yes. I can help organize your inbox, track messages that need attention, schedule appointments and coordinate calendars. We agree on your preferences and the access needed before I begin.
Can you help with business travel coordination?
Yes. I help research and compare travel options, coordinate itineraries and organize booking details. Third-party travel costs remain your responsibility, and I do not make purchases on your behalf without your approval.
Do you offer insurance and investment planning?
I offer referrals to appropriately licensed professionals who can discuss insurance and investment options with you. I am currently working toward my life insurance license through Primerica. Planning and product recommendations are handled by the licensed professional, not as part of my virtual assistant services. Learn about referrals or ask for an introduction. I only share your contact information for an introduction with your permission.
How much does virtual assistant support cost?
The Seed starts at $1,000 per month, the Growth Package is $1,800 per month and the Executive Package is $2,800 per month. Scope, included hours or task volume, billing and cancellation terms are confirmed in each client's written agreement. Compare the packages to find a starting point.
Is the discovery call free, and how do I get started?
Yes. The discovery call is free and creates no obligation. Book a call to discuss your priorities, then we agree on a plan and a start date if we are a good fit.
