I have been a full-time professional academic writer and researcher since 2013. I have completed thousands of academic research papers and other assignments at the high school, vocational school, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels for students in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. I have assisted many students with completing their master’s theses and Ph.D. dissertations. I am an experienced writer across many academic disciplines, including the full range of the humanities and liberal arts, as well as business, finance, information technology, nursing/medicine, natural sciences, law, and other fields. I can provide many samples of my writing upon request. I hold a B.A. in Religious Studies and an M.A. in History from Virginia Commonwealth University. I subsequently pursued additional post-graduate work in the Sociology and Criminal Justice programs at VCU. My areas of specialization and interest are the history of U.S. foreign policy, American political history, class theory, political economy, political theory, intellectual history, conflict theory, social stratification, the sociology of crime, critical criminology, the history of American religions, comparative and world religions, the psychology of religion, legal theory, and penology. I have 15 years of experience as a university professor. I previously served as the manager of the marketing division at the Richmond, Virginia, branch of a large regional corporation. I have extensive experience in marketing, direct sales, freelance writing, copy and web editing, self-guided research, education, restaurant and nightclub management, food service, retail, security, telemarketing, fundraising, tutoring, library, and inventory work. I also have experience dealing with customers and clients in a professional capacity. I am a reliable, congenial, intelligent, and confident person who takes my job seriously and treats students, supervisors, employers, co-workers, and customers with respect and professionalism. I pride myself on punctuality and efficiency. I am a mature individual. I am in good physical health. I can assure any prospective employer that I am second to none in terms of loyalty and dependability.

🌅 Imagine checking your phone on a Monday morning and seeing: "Done. Anything else?" That's what working with me looks like. You brief me once. I ask clear questions upfront. Then I get to work while you get back to running the parts of the business only you can run. No reminders. No chasing. No "just checking in, did you still need that?" I'm Victoria, a virtual assistant with 7 years of executive support experience, 10 years of professional writing, and 121 completed jobs on Upwork.

Would work with again." - Happy Upwork Client You know you need help, but every time you try to delegate, it backfires. 😩 Your last VA "went dark" three days into a project, and you never heard from them again 😩 The one before that needed everything explained twice, then still got it wrong 😩 Now it's midnight, everyone else is asleep, and you're the one formatting the blog post, answering the customer emails, updating the spreadsheet 😩 You've thought about hiring again, but the idea of vetting another stranger and hoping they stick around this time makes you want to just keep doing it yourself 😩 Your calendar is a mess, your tasks are living in too many places, and every small thing you forget turns into a bigger problem, a missed deadline, or an embarrassing “sorry for the delay” message. That's exhausting. And it's not sustainable. Here's where I come in. I reply quickly; I deliver on time (every time). I hold a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork.

Freelancer is recommended!" - Happy Upwork Client ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A+ Excellent experience. I received exactly what I asked for." - Happy Upwork Client ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very easy to work with and job well done!" - Happy Upwork Client Here's how we'll work together: → We chat about what you need and where you're stuck → I get to work while you get back to running your business → You review, I refine until it's exactly right → We keep going, one less thing on your plate every week Not sure if we're the right fit?
