"I’ve known we needed this kind of hands-on, inclusive training for years. With more than a decade spent working in higher education, I’ve seen the system fail people who needed more flexibility to meet their life-needs AND preparation to step successfully into a new job immediately.
Our VA Pro Academy is making that happen by using training systems that work for all learners with teaching strategies that can be applied regardless of the technology, empowering people to take ownership of their career trajectory."

“I started myVA Rocks to provide remote, flexible jobs for rockstar virtual assistants. I saw other women, in particular, facing the same challenges I was facing: corporate America wanted me to work like I didn’t have kids, and my family needed me to parent like I didn’t work. I was over-whelmed, exhausted, and my children needed me to be present. I’m thrilled to bring the flexible and empowering nature of myVA Rocks to the training space so YOU can benefit too.”
