meet ME

Hi, I’m Charmaine, your comfort-driven virtual assistant, here to make your life a little easier and a lot more balanced.

​

I grew up in New Zealand, where I studied for a Bachelor of Hospitality Management with a major in events before making the leap across the ditch to call Australia home. My career has always revolved around hospitality and the wedding industry, fueled by a passion for creating meaningful moments and helping people come together. Along the way, I’ve found joy in supporting new businesses, refining workflows, and streamlining processes to help them thrive.

But life had other plans! When Covid hit, I lost my job as a function and events coordinator. Then, life threw me some beautiful curve-balls, I met my now-husband, gained a blended family of four kids (and added one more to make it five), and found myself needing a career that embraced flexibility, creativity, and balance.

​

It all started when I began helping one of my besties (an incredible celebrant, by the way!) with her socials and client guides. What began as a small favour grew into a fulfilling new path. With my husband in the ADF and our family moving every few years, becoming a virtual assistant wasn’t just a career choice - it was the perfect fit for my lifestyle.

Now, I get to work in an industry I love, helping wedding creatives and couples bring their visions to life while keeping everything organised and stress-free.

 

My approach is all about balance, mindfulness, and finding joy in the little things. I’m here to take the pressure off so you can focus on what matters most.

​

If you’re looking for a VA who values connection, clarity, and calm in every project, you’ve found her. Let’s create something wonderful together!
