KAREN BROWN
VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Testimonials
❝I was initially hesitant to take on a virtual PA as we had previously only ever had our PA in-house. At the outset, Karen assured me that she would be there to make my life easier; she has fulfilled that commitment over and over again.
Karen helped to set up systems to ensure that communication flowed smoothly right from the beginning and her induction into our Clinic was effortless.
Karen is highly professional and I can rely on her to communicate with patients and agencies alike, in a sensitive manner. She has certainly added more efficiency to our business and she has a capacity to foresee problems and plan for them. She puts my mind at ease on a daily basis. Karen is an excellent PA and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is exactly what I was hoping for from a PA.❞
