Sheryl M. Snitkin, Virtual Assistant

Hello, and thanks for visiting my website! I’m sure you’re wondering who I am and what qualifies me to be a Virtual Assistant.

My administrative career spans over two decades, officially starting as a file clerk/receptionist in the 1980s. However, I actually realized my career aspirations before obtaining my first job. Visiting my mother’s office when I was a child gave me my first exposure to an administrative career.   Sitting by her side, I learned the qualities of a great assistant. It was always a thrill when she would ask me to handle a simple task for her. I guess you could say I’ve really been an administrative professional since the age of 10!

During my administrative career I received promotions to Senior Administrative/Executive Assistant positions; supporting business teams, senior management professionals, and C-level executives. These opportunities allowed me to refine my skills and gain a solid business background. I’m a talented problem-solver, recognized for finding creative ways to achieve positive results.  Additionally I’ve had the privilege of training and mentoring junior assistants.

After over 25 years in traditional offices, I leveraged my experience to follow my dream of launching my own Virtual Assistant business. I was accepted to AssistU and graduated their 20-week intensive Virtual Assistant Training Program. AssistU is the premier training ground for professional virtual assistants. They accept less than half of the applicants into their program, and they require an 80% or better passing score on a 25-hour final exam to graduate. I was so glad to hear that I was given graduate status!

My free time is often spent watching old movies, reading anything of quality, designing jewelry, studying Mesozoic Vertebrate Paleontology, re-learning how to play the alto saxophone, and spending quality time with loved ones (including my two cats, Patrick and Janis). I’m a “neat freak” and I enjoy organizing – anything and everything!  My friends call me “Felix Unger on steroids” and I have to say they’re right about that.

My clients are the foundation of my mission statement.  Serving my clients is not a mechanical act but one that provides an opportunity for fulfillment and meaning.  I would be honored to provide you an opportunity to experience my business philosophy.
