Becoming a VA doesn't have to just make ends meet… You can turn it into a thriving, profitable business. I've been where you are, toying with the idea of how "all-in" you need to be to make becoming a VA work for you. After 23 years in the Royal Navy and overcoming massive life transitions, I know what it takes to pivot, adapt, and succeed in entrepreneurship. As my husband and I transitioned out of the military for a more freedom-based lifestyle, I found my calling in helping others create the same freedom I was seeking. I founded the VA Training Academy to empower aspiring and established Virtual Assistants (VAs) to build, scale, and thrive in their own businesses – whether you're just starting out or looking to take your VA business to the next level.
