About this speaker
Anita Kilkenny started her virtual career back in 1994 but didn’t become a full time VA until 2000, helping solopreneurs with their administration and secretarial needs and, more recently, with social media, email marketing and online events.
Having a long-time interest in yoga, meditation and alternative health modalities, Anita saw a gap in this niche market and in July 2014, The Holistic Virtual Assistant was born. Anita’s passion is to help make the lives of heart-centered business owners less stressful by assisting them to integrate email marketing and social media into their marketing plan, as well as day-to-day operations.
Since 2005, Anita has served on the organising Steering Committee for OIVAC.
In 2009/2010, Anita co-founded the Australian Virtual Assistant Conference together with Kathie Thomas .
In 2016, Anita was elected President of the Australian Virtual Assistants Association (AVAA) after serving as Vice President since it’s inception.
In March 2021, Anita acquired Australia’s oldest Virtual Assistant network VA Directory and then VA Trainer in December 2021 from Kathie Thomas who retired.
Anita is excited about this new direction being to not only support her industry but clients who want to grow their business by engaging a VA.
