Stephanie De Arao — Executive Assistant & Digital Operations Specialist

About Me

Not Your
Average VA.

I started freelancing in 2020 as a solo virtual assistant. Over the past 6 years, I've supported directors, CEOs, real estate firms, wellness brands, e-commerce stores, and content creators across Australia and the USA.

Today I work directly with founders, directors, and small teams who need a dependable right hand — someone who can run the backend, build the systems, and grow the brand without being micromanaged. When you work with me, you work with me, not a queue.

🤝 White-Glove Service

Every client gets dedicated, proactive support — not just task completion.

📈 Growth Focused

I don't just maintain — I actively help you scale and improve operations.
