About Me

I have been an Executive Administrator for over 21 years. After working in the corporate world for many years I opened my own practice, Stray Ducks Virtual Assistance, 2 years ago. Bringing all of my cumulative skills into my business was an easy transition and I enjoy the challenges that I meet every day. Now I am certified and ready to help authors go from manuscript to marketplace. Let's Get Your Ducks In A Row!

Other Specialties Not Mentioned Above (or Other Than Working With Authors)

In the corporate world I worked with a special events company (15 yrs), bringing a theme events from conception to completion for corporate incentive programs. This gave me great personal satisfaction. I met people from all over the world, and from all walks of life. The majority of the events were held at Fairmont and Delta Hotels in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I learned to be flexible, manage organizers, actors and staff, all with different personalities and styles. This experience gave me a unique skill set that I can bring to you while helping produce your book, managing your live book tour or speaking event.
