Why I Created This

I started my VA journey self-taught, relying on online courses and navigating mentorship that often felt gatekept. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, unsure, and eager to begin.

This kit is the eye-opener I wish I had when I started and now, it’s yours.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a clear path forward.

Let this be your starting point.
