I help small businesses and busy entrepreneurs stay organized, efficient, and stress-free—while also bringing their brand voice to life through clear, engaging writing.
Since 2019, I’ve worked as an Office Manager for a small business, handling the behind-the-scenes systems that keep everything running smoothly. From budgeting and invoicing to data entry and workflow organization, I specialize in creating simple, effective processes that save time and reduce overwhelm.
Administrative & Organization Support:
- Budget tracking & basic bookkeeping support
- Invoicing & document management
- Data entry & database organization
- Workflow and system creation
- Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail) & Microsoft Word/Excel
In addition to business operations, I’ve managed a busy household full-time—coordinating schedules, overseeing homeschooling, managing budgets, and creating systems that keep everything on track. That real-world experience translates directly into being proactive, detail-oriented, and highly adaptable in my work with clients.
Writing & Content Services:
I also offer copywriting and blog writing with a warm, conversational tone that connects with readers and builds trust.
- Blog posts & articles
- Website copy
- Email newsletters
- Social media content
If you’re looking for someone who can both organize your business and communicate your message clearly, I bring a unique combination of structure and creativity to the table.
Let’s make your workload lighter and your content stronger.

Hi! I’m Alex, an organized and dependable professional with a background in education, small-business ownership, customer service, and administrative work. I’m currently looking for part-time virtual assistant and bookkeeping opportunities where I can help businesses stay organized and running smoothly.
I have experience with QuickBooks, Excel, and Google Sheets, as well as scheduling, data organization, customer communication, inventory, and day-to-day business operations.
After 10 years as a high school teacher, I also spent several years running my own cottage bakery. These experiences taught me how to manage multiple priorities, learn new systems quickly, communicate with all kinds of people, and take initiative without needing constant direction.
I especially enjoy helping small businesses and entrepreneurs with the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep things moving. Whether you need bookkeeping support, spreadsheet work, data organization, customer service, or general administrative help, I’m reliable, resourceful, and ready to jump in.
