About me

My Approach

Consistent, Intuitive, Proactive, Energetic

I have been fortunate to gather over 25 years of PA and EA experience. Over these years, I worked for managing directors, CEO’s, chief winemakers, and creative directors, to name a few. You can guarantee that I provide a trusted, honest, and professional approach to the work at hand. I am skilled at proactively multitasking several projects to get the job done. 

I am a spinner of many plates. Whether that’s your inbox and diary management, marketing a product or an event, or strategically planning your business goals and social media. I specialise in tailormade support that takes those tasks from your hand that you’re unsure of or just don’t enjoy. 

By delegating to a virtual executive assistant and personal assistant, you can get on with growing your business. Grab that freedom back so you can have much needed spare time doing the things you love in life. 

I’m based in South Somerset UK, virtually in New Zealand and worldwide.

“I recently created a course and required proof reading of the course material. Michelle offered a prompt, precise and reliable service. She went above and beyond by suggesting some possible additions and adjustments for me to consider. I am based in Australia and the time difference worked to my advantage. The turnover time was sooner than expected and my course was a success. I would highly recommend Michelle.”

Talia Stephens – All That Is Healing

“I would thoroughly recommend Michelle, not only is she really useful as virtual marketing support, she is highly experienced.”

Steph Horan – Owner, Blue Walnut Design

“Michelle was project lead on an important organisational change project at South Western Ambulance Service.

She was able to understand all aspects of the project quickly, efficiently and accurately not only supporting the exec team and HR leads but also an empathetic approach to all involved.

Michelle is dedicated to the work at hand, you can feel assured that the project is tracked and in safe hands..”
