My Journey Into Virtual Assistant Services: The Unexpected Turns That Led Me Here
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the path to purpose is rarely a straight line.
Before starting K. Allen Virtual Services, I spent years in roles where I thrived behind the scenes — quietly organizing, managing, and supporting everything that made a team or project run smoothly. I was never the one in the spotlight, and honestly, I preferred it that way. I have always found joy in getting things done, streamlining the details, and being the one others could count on when things needed to flow effortlessly.
Then came a new chapter — motherhood. For the past nine years, I have been home raising my kids, and while it has been the most rewarding experience of my life, I also felt a strong pull to do something more. Something for me…something more for my family. I decided to go back to school and pursue an associate’s degree in business. I wanted to challenge myself, expand my knowledge, and be a role model for my kids — showing them that it is never too late to chase growth.
Once I graduated, I began the job hunt but quickly ran into harsh reality. The job market was discouraging, and every opportunity I found required me to sacrifice something major: time with my family. By the time I factored in childcare, long hours, and commuting, the math didn’t add up — emotionally or financially. I realized that I didn't just want a job. I wanted to build something of my own.
That is when K. Allen Virtual Services was born.
I launched my business with the intention of offering virtual assistant services to small business owners who need someone reliable, organized, and behind the scenes just like I had always been. And I wanted to do it in a way that still allowed me to be present for my family, because at the of the day, they are my WHY.
What has surprised me most is how much I have grown since making that leap. I have had the chance to work with inspiring clients across the United States, and I have connected with other virtual assistants from around the world. I have stepped into a space that is filled with strong, ambitious, supportive women and it has reminded me that there is room for all of us to thrive.
Now I am dreaming even bigger. I have goals not just for my business, but for the legacy I want to build. And it all started with a simple idea: create something meaningful, sustainable, and flexible — for me, for my family, and for the clients I serve through my virtual assistant services.
