Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to look at my company, Connected. So, how can I help you?

If you're looking for admin assistance then I'm here for you! I offer a range of tasks, from social media management to email management, and so much more! I even do proofreading, not only for websites but for novels, dissertations and other smaller projects too.

I am proud to say that I am 100% customer-focussed - I treat each customer as an individual with specific needs and requirements. That's why no two jobs are the same for me, and that why I love my work! Whether it's a one-off task or a long-term project I treat every customer with the respect and dedication they deserve.

History

After several years within an office environment I decided to start up Connected Virtual Assistant. Having worked mainly for smaller companies, I could see the benefits of having a freelancer on-hand to do those jobs that no-one else can do/wanted to do/thought they could do.

I have dedicated a lot of my spare time to training, whether it's reading blogs, checking out books or completing formal training. I have recently completed a course with the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, and I'm currently studying two courses on social media. In this ever-changing world of work I recognise the importance of always being clued up!
