Sonja – Founder and Lead Virtual Office Assistant

I stepped into my first office at 14, long before “virtual work” was a thing and when computers were just beginning to find their place in the world. I didn’t know it then, but that small desk in my high school office would become the first chapter of a lifelong calling: supporting people, bringing order to chaos, and helping businesses run with ease.

In 1993, I moved to Surrey and found myself thriving in temp roles across industries that couldn’t have been more different from one another – the stock exchange, automotive warehousing, elevator manufacturing. Every assignment sharpened my adaptability, my confidence, and my ability to walk into any environment and instantly become the steady hand people could rely on.

By 2000, I trusted myself enough to build something of my own. Sonja’s Office Services was born from a simple truth: small businesses deserve big support. I served clients in Surrey and later in Vernon while raising my son, managing everything from emails and travel to invoicing, collections, bookkeeping, and polished reports. I became the person business owners turned to when they needed things done right, done well, and done with heart.

A move to Falkland in 2007 opened a new chapter. I completed a medical transcription certificate and spent 12 years working remotely – long before the world realized how powerful virtual support could be. It taught me discipline, precision, and the art of being deeply reliable from a distance.

In 2016, I stepped into entrepreneurship again, opening a process-serving franchise in Kelowna and Vernon. Over four years, I grew both locations and contributed to the company doubling its revenue. It was a season of leadership, grit, and expansion – and it reminded me of what I do best: build, support, and elevate.

After relocating to Kamloops, I returned to my true passion with renewed clarity. Since 2020, I’ve fully embraced virtual assistance, specializing in supporting small businesses – especially in the trades. I help owners stay organized, responsive, and grounded in the administrative systems that keep their businesses moving forward. I bring warmth, professionalism, and a level of care that turns clients into long-term partners.

My guiding belief is simple:

“Your Success is My Reward.”

Because for me, this work isn’t just administrative — it’s personal. It’s legacy. It’s the privilege of helping someone else’s dream run smoothly so they can focus on what they do best.
