Elissa Hamon - Founder

You have a passion that you are pursuing – you were created to do what it is you do. This is my passion – I was created to help you succeed. With over 19 years of administrative and executive assistant experience, I genuinely enjoy accomplishing the day-to-day operations and tasks required for a business to exist. In all I do, I see a purpose – a seemingly simple thank you letter can be an open door. I never underestimate the most minor of tasks. I take pride in a well-crafted email. Hailing from a long line of word-nerds, I will proofread any flyer, brochure, report, or letter for you with excitement. Spreadsheets and logistical organization are this perfectionist’s world of wonder. A textbook extrovert, meeting new people and discovering new worlds energizes my work. Swapping a story or two with you, discovering what makes you uniquely you, brings a connection that I cherish. Learning of the creative work being done lights my fire to help fulfill its mission. Raised in the nonprofit world, work done to better the lives of others and the world around us is my touchpoint. With a career spanning the nonprofit arena and the corporate world, I am comfortable and skilled at navigating each field’s unique orientation. Being a Virtual Assistant to nonprofits, solo-preneurs, and small businesses affords me the opportunity to live into my inherent talents and passions, allowing me to do what I was created to do so you can succeed at your passion.

Elissa is intuitive, efficient, and effective at all things operations! She helped take my “catch all” drive from an unorganized mess to a truly helpful resource for the business!

Our team from WorkingNation, a national, non-profit media organization whose goal is to raise awareness of Structural Unemployment (defined as the gap between the skilled labor requirements of employers and the skillset of the workforce), engaged Elissa Hamon to help us update, organize and streamline the use of our Salesforce Database. Elissa is a pleasure with whom to work. She is not just as a reactive administrator, but a proactive extension of our staff, proposing solutions to our database challenges using her significant experience and knowledge. Elissa met all of our deadlines, responded promptly to our questions and requests and completed the job on time and under budget. Most importantly, Elissa is upbeat, positive and has an engaging personality. I highly recommend Elissa Hamon.

I run a non profit and I needed a virtual assistant. I found Elissa and decided to give her a try. Best decision ever. She is amazing! Elissa is timely and communicative. If she doesn’t know how to do something(which doesn’t happen often), she works at it and finds solutions to the problem at hand. She has knowledge in so many areas. I only have positive things to do say about the amazing and consistent work that Elissa does.

I have been so grateful to have Elissa’s timely, thorough, organized work as my virtual assistant. She has brought much-needed order to my working life as an editor, and her focus on the administrative tasks of my business has given me more time to focus on the work for my clients themselves. My business – and my life – has been bettered because of her work.

Elissa was great. We hired her to do our Christmas letters this year — I wrote the letter, gave her photos, and she did everything else: got the stationary + stamps + return addresses, formatted the words to fit in the stationary, addressed 250 envelopes, stamped, put return addresses on, mailed. Super communicative and responsive. Good work. Thank you Elissa and we look forward to working with you again!

I want to keep her a secret but that wouldn’t be fair. She did excellent work and created a lot of value for me. For that I will use her again and again. You should too!

Elissa is exceptionally gifted in the professional and personable assessment and production of administrative deliverables that maintain and enhance the functions of the nonprofit organization I direct. Elissa serves as an officer of the nonprofit corporation and provides insightful and practical advice to improve organizational functioning and growth. As the Secretary of the Board, her listening and recording of meeting processes result in clear reports which are delivered at a blazingly fast pace. If you seek a professional, personable, assionate, product-oriented individual who will consistently deliver a well defined scope of services on time and within budget, be in touch with Elissa.

Elissa has the rare combination of a winsome personality, uber-attention to detail on even the most minute of tasks, and exceptional relational skills. She is a CEOs dream assistant. What Elissa doesn’t know technically, she will get up to speed on fast. Her capacity for maintaining a massive workload without buckling under the stress is admirable. Elissa makes a great “second” to any leader, helping them achieve their goals and objectives. Elissa serves her leaders with joy, dedication, perseverance, and humility. Plus, she is an absolute delight to work with!
