About Me

I’m Katie — an experienced admin and governance‑minded virtual assistant providing practical, steady support for micro‑businesses, charities and small health organisations. I help organisations stay organised without the pressure of trying to manage everything alone.

My expereince

I’ve spent my entire career in roles where organisation, clarity and communication really matter. I’m super organised, IT‑proficient, detail‑focused and able to see the bigger picture — skills that have shaped every stage of my working life.

Before moving to Cornwall in 2015, I worked in the NHS for over 25 years. I started as an admin assistant and progressed through roles including performance manager, head of communications, head of corporate affairs and assistant chief executive. Those years gave me a deep understanding of governance, reporting, leadership and how to keep complex organisations running smoothly.

When I moved to Cornwall, I rebuilt my career from the ground up. I managed a retail outlet, gaining hands‑on experience of what running a small business really looks like — stock control, invoicing, staff rotas and the constant pressure of social media. It gave me a real appreciation for the challenges small business owners face every day.

I later returned to office life and joined a charity, progressing from administrator into clinical governance and corporate affairs. It was the perfect blend of my NHS experience and my passion for helping organisations work well.

Why I do this work

Working with small organisations showed me just how much difference one person can make when they bring the right skills, attitude and support. Developing ideas, solving problems and seeing the impact of good governance and organised systems is incredibly rewarding — for me and for the organisations I support.

Today, I offer:

Dedicated business support for micro‑businesses

Specialist governance and Board support for charities and small health organisations

My goal is simple: to provide support that feels like part of your team — calm, reliable and shaped around how you work.
