You have the revenue. You have the clients. But you're still doing more as a CEO than you should be.
Not because you aren't working hard enough, but because the systems of your business haven't caught up to where you're trying to go.
I've built and run operations for 35+ service-based businesses, agencies, and nonprofit leaders—automating 90% of manual work, saving 10+ hours per week, and making it possible for one client to step away from his entire business for a full year with one check-in per month.
When you hire me, I step in, take ownership, and drive things forward. Whether that means leading your operations or building the systems that make them run, without needing to be managed or told what to do at every step.
Every project is scoped upfront, delivered in 14 days or less, and handed back fully built and running.
WHAT SETS ME APART:
• I think ahead of you: I don't just execute what's in front of me. I notice what's working, what could work better, and what's been overlooked, and I bring solutions before you think to ask for them. You get an operator who thinks like a partner, not someone waiting for the next task.
• I don't need direction to move: Most clients have hired help before and ended up managing them more than the actual work. I come in, assess what needs to happen, and drive it forward. You stay focused on what only you can do.
• I build for where your business is going: Not a quick fix, not a template. Every system I build is designed around how your business actually runs and built to hold as you grow.
• I work fixed price: No hourly tracking, no surprise invoices. Every project is scoped upfront, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Currently booking project-based work only — returning to full operations management in September 2026.
ONGOING OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE:
Day-to-day operations running without you being the bottleneck:
Client communication, billing, renewals, follow-ups, team management, project management, and systems management. Nothing falling through the cracks. Nothing waiting on you.
→ Not looking for ongoing support? Just need your systems built properly once and for all?
PROJECT-BASED WORK LOOKS LIKE:
The systems and operations work that isn't built or running the way it should be:
Your CRM that needs to be set up properly
Your client management system that needs to be built
Your project management system that your team will actually use
Your workflows and automations that need to be connected and running your business without you lifting a finger
Scoped properly, executed completely, and handed back running.
I don't consider a project done until it's working exactly the way it should. Every build includes 30 days of post-delivery support. If anything isn't running exactly as it should, I fix it at no additional cost.
"Muriel stepped in and immediately started moving things that had been sitting for months. She didn't need to be managed or told what to do. She came in with a plan, took ownership, and made sure everything kept moving. Because of that, I was able to focus on growing the organization instead of being pulled back into running it."
— Dion Maeda, Nonprofit Director · 6-year client relationship
"Muriel is exactly what I was hoping to find. She knocked the job out of the park. She took the time to learn exactly what we needed, made suggestions that showed she really knew the platform, kept me updated throughout, and finished exactly when she promised. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to set up their systems."
— Whitney Lee, Award-Winning PR Agency Owner
If your backend isn't keeping up with where you're headed, that's exactly what I fix. Send me a message or an invite.

With over a decade of experience wearing many fabulous hats, I’ve mastered the art of juggling, connecting, and creating. All while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. I spent 10+ years as a master-level hairdresser, where I didn’t just style hair, I built lasting relationships through meaningful customer service and heart to heart conversations.
From there, I launched and ran my own product based business, operating a class 4 laser (yes, the kind that sounds way cooler than it looks) to design and sell handcrafted goods both online and at craft fairs. I’ve also worked as a personal assistant to powerhouse CEOs in both consulting and start-up spaces, and managed the daily operations of a cleaning company where I handled everything from marketing and hiring to lead responses and scheduling.
Most importantly, I’m a proud mom of two small children who inspire me every day to build a life that balances flexibility, purpose, and passion. I created Sunshine Service Desk to combine all of my unique experience into one bright, supportive, and personalized virtual assistant program designed to help small business owners thrive, no matter what life throws their way.
