TESTIMONIALS
“Dream up everything you could want in an executive support staff - you've just dreamed up Martha. Her depth of experience is evident on day one. She's an organizational ninja: quick, accurate, proactive, and brings a warm human touch to everything she does. There's not a time zone she can't schedule across or a group of humans she can't wrangle. Moreover, she's already thought of what you haven't! Martha is a pure joy to work with. “
Jensine Larsen, Founder, CEO, WorldPulse.org (client via VaVa Virtual Assistants)
“Martha is one of a kind. She is supremely competent and capable of handling a wide range of admin activities that can weigh individuals and businesses down. There is nothing she can't do, from writing copy to managing projects, to setting up meetings, to managing your books. The list is endless. Not only that, but she does it with a servant-like spirit and infectious optimistic attitude. She sees herself as implicated in your success.”
Keith Carson, Integrated Sales Solutions, LLC"Martha has been a game-changer for my small consulting business. Whether scheduling meetings, supporting bookkeeping, managing work I can't do on my own, copyediting, or any other number of tasks, I can always count on her to be timely, diplomatic, diligent, and thorough. She is the backbone of my work on a daily basis."
Jennifer Kotting, PHD, Communication Strategist and Graphic Designer

“Martha is a lifesaver! She handled every task with incredible organization, skill, graciousness, professionalism, and tact. She handled everything from calendar maintenance and updates to email management, email campaigns, research projects, accounting assistance, and many other administrative duties. I highly recommend trusting Martha to get the job done!”
Nicole Bonelli, Master Mind Artist Management
“Martha keeps me organized (not an easy task given the complexity of my business) and reminds me of things that I have forgotten in a gentle way. She is tenacious with following up with vendors that don’t respond and is kind in dealing with my delays in getting her things. She is a positive force and is also open to trying new technologies! I’ve been through four VAs at this point and am so glad that I found Martha!”
Shannon Polly, Founder, Shannon Polly & Associates, Leadership Development Facilitator, Coach, Speaker and Author (client via VaVa Virtual Assistants)

“Working virtually with Martha for the past 3 years has been better than any in-person working relationship I have had – she is so responsive, so attentive, and so detailed. Time zones don’t matter – I never knew what time zone she was in, and it never mattered! Her vibrant personality comes through the web so clearly, as well as her excellent work ethic."
-Justin Gillman, Director of Development Operations. Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund of San Francisco
“I have worked with Martha for the past decade and can truly say that she is a consummate professional. Dedicated to every task, Martha is consistently detailed, patient, timely, and brilliant at completing the job. She is also a wonderful teacher/mentor, has an awesome sense of humor, and is a warm, generous soul. I highly recommend Martha as a team member, and I’m proud to call her a colleague and friend.”
