Virtualosity

Hi! Welcome to my website. My name is Deborah A. Mitchell and I am a Virtual Assistant (VA for short).

What is Virtual Assistance? Virtual Assistance is a fairly new administrative profession. It is the art of working long-term and closely with a successful person (client) without needing to be physically in the client’s office or place of business, and providing top of the line administrative services to that client. VAs partner with their clients to provide top-notch administrative assistance for their business needs.

As an AssistU trained VA, we learn how to make the pieces fit together, to know our clients well enough to be responsive to their needs. AssistU, which was founded by Anastacia Brice in 1997, was the first organization of its kind for Virtual Assistants.

The profession is only 15 years old, however, there are people providing Virtual Assistance service for more than 14 years. Anastacia Brice, AssistU’s founder, has been providing this service since the 1980s.

Virtual Assistance is not the usual relationship traditionally found in the workplace (i.e. boss/employee). Rather, it is partnering together to bring about a collaborative experience mutually beneficial to both the client and the VA.

VIRTUALOSITY is a virtual practice developed to provide administrative support to individuals, small business owners, and entrepreneurs needing the services of an administrative assistant with the added benefit of not having to pay for workspace, health insurance, or all benefits associated with hiring a traditional employee.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it;
just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally” ~David Frost

I am passionate about my work and the things that I do. That is why I love being a Virtual Assistant. I apply the passion I have for perfection into my work habits. I take ownership of the work I do for others as if it were my own. In other words, the work I do for my clients reflects the work I would do for myself. It is my goal to become an extension of my clients – that the flow goes from client↔VA↔VA↔client without any breaks; a continuous flow.

Why Virtualosity?

When I set out to establish my business name, I took into consideration the continuous flow mentioned above. I also considered the word Virtuosity, which by definition means:

1. The technical skill, fluency, or style exhibited by a virtuoso or a composition.

2. An appreciation for or interest in fine objects of art.

The definitions were exactly what I wanted my virtual business to be identified with, hence Virtualosity.

Professional Background

I have been working for more than 30 years as an administrative professional skilled and highly trained in all areas. I have worked in the private sector including the legal, banking, and real estate fields. All work done with my clients is designed to be long-term collaborative; goal oriented rather than task oriented. It is my hope to partner with my clients to provide them with the support they need to bring about the success of their business.

Recently, I have become more focused on creating – flyers, marketing materials and anything that allows for creativity and imagination to have free rein. I love taking a client’s concept to the next level by bringing their ideas to life in a visual context.
