How I Became Miss Virtual Assist...
My first virtual client was MRR & Associates, a media and PR company, in Dallas, TX back in 2006, . My responsibilities included being the Spanish media liaison (I am fluent in Spanish), writing press releases, online research, creating reports, conference logistics, and project management. My innate ability for efficiency and follow through, made me the go-to person for Minerva Rodriguez, the CEO, and I soon was promoted to Executive Assistant. I relocated to Los Angeles in 2012 and l'm still working for Ms. Rodriguez! (See her testimonial at the bottom of the Home page.)
Since my move across the country and into the world of virtual assistance, I have been fortunate to acquire new clients; assisting them has truly become my passion. Once I realized how much of an asset I could be without even being in the same city, much less the same office, Miss Virtual Assistant was born.
I know how important it is to have someone you trust to get the job done.
I assist and support by tackling the tasks that stress you out, so that you can focus on what's most important: Growing your business. I'm excited for the opportunity to meet you (virtually, of course) and see how I can help you do just that.
I am based in Los Angeles, but my office is the world!
Miss Virtual Assist supports you with great communication, commitment, initiative, dedication,
attention to detail, and follow through. And if need be, in Spanish...Hablo Español desde que nací.

A bit more about me...
I was born in Panama and moved to the US when I was 18 years old without being able to speak any English. Although I had already graduated high school in Panama, I decided to enroll in 12th grade to learn English before attending college. A year later I enrolled in college at the same level as any other American student. Then 5 years later, I obtained a Bachelor in Business Administration Degree from the prestigious Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
My original plans were to find a career in marketing, but then I fell in love with acting. I've worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years as an actress, casting director, casting associate & assistant, production coordinator, producer, and 2nd Assistant Director. In Dallas, I owned a theater company for 8 years and produced award-winning hit shows.
No sooner had my last show closed, I found a different kind of stage to showcase my creative abilities: the restaurant world. I joined the raw food movement, became a raw food chef at a raw food restaurant in Dallas, TX. I was known around the Big-D for my desserts. I was featured in a couple of local and national magazines as well as in the show Good Morning Texas. For three straight years, I was invited to the State Fair of Texas as a Celebrity Chef, where I taught recipes for delicious raw food desserts.
Then I made the move to Los Angeles to see if I could move to the next level of the entertainment industry. I landed a couple of parts, but the most buzz has come from ICAROS: A VISION, a Spanish language independent film on which I worked as Casting Director. It opened on May, 2017 in limited release in selected cities. In addition to casting actors in Los Angeles, I was asked to work on the set in the Amazon jungle in Iquitos, Peru as an acting coach for the Shipibo shamans who played themselves in the film. None of them had ever been in a film before and they only spoke Spanish and Conibo/Shipibo, That was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The film has received rave reviews from Variety, The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Indie Wire, and The New Yorker. In June 2017, Esquire placed the film in The Top 15 Films of 2017 (so far!).
I love singing karaoke (haha!), ballroom dancing, hiking, going to the beach, traveling
and there is still so much of the world I'd love to see; however, no matter where I am, I can assist and support you! I am Miss Virtual Assist.
