So who am I?

I’ve been working as a Virtual Assistant since 2010, supporting business owners with the behind-the-scenes admin that keeps everything running smoothly. More recently, I’ve also launched another business called Sharon’s Tutorials, where I share online courses and video tutorials to help people get more from Google Workspace.

I love working from home, and you’ll often see photos on my Instagram of our dog, Xena, and the countryside of Co. Laois where we currently rent a cottage surrounded by fields… my idea of bliss.

Xena is my office dog. We adopted her in 2015 from our local rescue, Cara Rescue Dogs, and she’s the one who keeps me sane on the days when I don’t speak to anyone at all! She insists on play breaks every hour or so, which means I actually step away from my desk – something I used to be terrible at before she came along.

When I’m not working, one of the things I enjoy most is paper quilling – the art of coiling paper to create little butterflies and flowers. I find it incredibly relaxing, and it’s a great excuse to step away from the laptop for a while.

If I’m not doing that, I’m usually somewhere with my camera trying to photograph our local buzzards… although most of the time I just end up with photos of empty branches! 😂

I’m also a bit of a petrolhead, so most Sundays you’ll find me watching MotoGP or NASCAR. And I’m partial to the odd glass of red wine too.

If you’d like some reliable support behind the scenes in your business, feel free to get in touch – I’d love to hear from you.
