S
o u l d b e t h e k e y t o y o u r s .

"Before founding TRUSTY OAK, I spent five years at a
rapidly growing digital agency based in Austin, TX. Four of
those years, I was responsible for hiring and leading both
local and virtual teams while working closely with clients
ranging from CEOs to bestselling authors to build their
brand online.
Through my leadership of these teams and in working with
high-performing individuals across the country, I recognized
the need for consistent, quality executive assistant services
for these busy professionals, and could understand firsthand
the challenges of selecting and hiring the right person for the
job.
The driving passion behind Trusty Oak’s mission to support
ambitious people in pursuit of big dreams is personal.
Success is not something that comes easy, but opportunities
to grab onto success happen a lot more frequently when you
have the right people in your corner. I have been blessed
with many mentors and leaders who have helped me see my
own potential and who have given me opportunities that I
would have not been able to grab onto without their help.
We all need a hand, and my goal with everything we do at
Trusty Oak is to do just that – connect both our clients and
our assistants with opportunities to reach their full potential
every day."
