When & why did you join Get Ahead VA:
I joined Get Ahead in April 2022. I had been working as a Virtual Assistant for just over a year and I wanted to expand my client base and skill set. As much as I enjoy working independently, I also value the support and inspiration that being part of a team brings, which is why I joined the Get Ahead team.
What did you do before you joined Get Ahead VA:
For about 5 years I had been working full-time as a Music Therapist in care and educational settings. Although I found this work very rewarding, it was also emotionally challenging, particularly during the pandemic. I most enjoyed therapist roles which required me to take on non-clinical duties such as organising working parties and meetings and engaging in research and writing.
Career highlight to date:
I am really pleased to have supported education charities by developing educational and therapeutic projects to support marginalised children and young people. I also successfully raised funds for these projects through grant application writing, which has allowed these projects to become a reality.
Plans for the future:
To continue expanding my work as a VA and to continue learning! I love learning new things for work and for my personal development. I am currently training to be a vocal psychotherapist and aiming to achieve fluency in Spanish.
