Laura Dennis

Project Assistant

"No man is an island". – John Donne

When it comes to virtual assistance, who better to anticipate a company’s needs than a woman who has experienced the trials and tribulations of business owning firsthand? Laura Dennis knows just what you’re looking for in a VA because she’s been there herself – and she wants to make sure her clients never feel unsupported.

27 years in the corporate world have left Laura with a fine appreciation of just how difficult good help can be to find. The primary virtues she considers essential for any assistant? Honesty, integrity, and respect. She throws in years of experience, a fantastically approachable nature, and a sincere understanding of just where her assistance is most needed in any scenario as a bonus.

Laura prefers to hit her deadlines way ahead of schedule so that she has more time to tie up the loose ends that come untucked in the course of any busy workday. She knows that her clients are extremely busy and need a good right-hand man (or in this case, woman) to help manage all of the exhausting responsibilities they carry throughout the day. She welcomes challenges and laughs at people who say it can’t be done. In 27 years, she’s never met with an impossible task.

Laura’s experience running companies originates in both corporate and private-owned restaurants, where she invariably served in a managerial capacity. She is an excellent bookkeeper and financial manager, and has handled some of the most difficult customer service situations imaginable with grace and panache. She also has experience in purchasing, billing, human resources, and the art of scheduling a team for maximum use of their skills.

In her spare time, Laura has served as president of her Merchant’s Association and is the founder of the local monthly Downtown Street Festival, which is still going strong fifteen years later. She is also involved with the American Culinary Foundation in hosting breakfasts for the homeless.

If you’re looking for someone who can anticipate your needs as though she truly understood exactly how difficult it is to manage a company, Laura’s the only possible choice. You’ll find yourself wondering if she can read your mind, since she always seems to know exactly what you need – sometimes before you know it yourself.
