Virtual Assistant Spotlight: Terressa Elliott, Toowoomba, QLD
At The Virtual Cooee, we’re proud to spotlight one of our talented virtual assistants, Terressa Elliott.
Based in Toowoomba, Terressa has turned her extensive experience in administration into a successful virtual assistant career, balancing her work with the demands of family life. I had the pleasure of sitting down with her to hear her story and how she’s found success as a VA on The Virtual Cooee Hub.
From Admin Expert to Virtual Assistant
After losing her job a few years ago, Terressa took the leap she’d long considered: becoming a virtual assistant. “I’ve always wanted to do this,” she says. With years of admin experience under her belt, Terressa embraced the flexibility that virtual work offers, setting up her business to fit around her family’s needs. "I've worked for prominent people as well as smaller businesses, I really enjoy the admin work—especially the reliable admin tasks."
Choosing The Virtual Cooee Hub
One of the challenges Terressa faced when she first started as a VA was finding a trustworthy platform. "I didn’t want to be approached by just anyone, especially in a world full of scams. What I love about The Virtual Cooee is that everything is handled upfront—I get paid before I even start the work, which takes away that awkward money conversation."
On the platform, Terressa helps businesses with everything from minute-taking to organising people setting up simple project management Trello boards, automation and using HubSpot. She has found success working with business coaches and other clients across various industries. “It’s such a relief to know I’ll get paid for the work I do, and I like that I can decline jobs if they don’t suit me.”
Supporting Clients with Ease
Terressa’s clients have found The Virtual Cooee platform as user-friendly as she has. "My clients appreciate how easy it is to book and communicate with me through the platform, and if there’s ever a problem, it’s usually just a simple tech-related like an internet issue." Terressa also values the platform’s review and feedback system, which allows her to gather testimonials from clients and continue improving her services.
What Terressa Offers
Terressa’s expertise lies in general admin support. From Excel sheets to client relationship management programs to minute-taking, she offers a wide range of services tailored to her clients' needs. “I’ve been a personal assistant for a long time, so I’m skilled in organising and managing tasks. Lately, I’ve been learning more about AI, which has been exciting, but for now, I’m keeping it simple and focused on what I do best.”
