From Burnout to Successful Entrepreneur
Katie is a burnout survivor on a mission to help others avoid the same by offering virtual assistance to business owners and busy professionals, while simultaneously creating employment for individuals who need flexibility in their work style in order to care for their families. In 2019, after a long period of burnout, Katie left her corporate job in the insurance industry to run her first business, a yoga studio. When she had to close her yoga studio during the pandemic, she began considering a return to corporate life. Knowing she couldn’t return without risking another burnout, she combined her years of experience in the legal and insurance industry, blended it with her experience running a small business, and began assisting clients as a freelancer. As she grew and needed more help, she began recruiting from her network of friends who were leaving, or not returning to the workforce due to the struggles of childcare during the pandemic, and River City Virtual Assistants was born. Now, she and her team of trained virtual assistants assist clients in a wide array of industries with everything from basic admin tasks to content management and website building. River City Virtual Assistants is dedicated to providing reliable, consistent, and intelligent assistance to clients and is committed to providing meaningful employment to parents and caretakers within the USA.
