Karen's CV

My Story

Gosh, where do I begin. Well, at an early stage I decided I wanted to go out into the big wide world and get a job; a work ethic I learnt from my father. What was I good at? Sport! I was Sports Girl of the Year in my final year at Beaconsfield High School; shared with my best friend. I decided that I was going to become a physiotherapist. Then, for some strange reason, I enrolled on a Private Secretarial Course at Amersham College and, from starting on a manual typewriter and learning Pitman shorthand and gaining a wealth of experience working with Chairmen, CEOs and senior directors, I now own my own virtual assistant business!

I have a beautiful daughter who runs her own clothing business, Bluebell + Bear, and have 3 wonderful young grandchildren, a crazy labradoodle called Beau, whom I adore and keep me very busy, but fit!

I do hope you will enjoy working with me as I am passionate, dedicated and experienced in what I do but I also like to have fun working closely with my clients to make the mundane be as pleasurable as possible to get the job done and for you to do what you do best.
