Your Secretary

I run my own self-employed secretarial, PA and office support business in Waterford as Your Secretary. I have been an office support professional since the late 1990s, at first in the UK and more recently in Waterford after moving here. I really enjoy in-office roles and supporting businesses, partners and managers in whether helping them in work contexts or as a personal PA and assistant for people with busy lives to control. I am Pitman qualified in Secretarial work, have a Psychology degree and a diploma in law and act as the Newsletter Officer for the Waterford Branch of Network Ireland, having joined in 2025. What I like most about what I do is just meeting new people, being involved in helping them do well and go home less stressed, its the best part of the job.

 

I am dedicated to providing top-notch administrative services to professionals. I am committed to delivering efficient and reliable support to meet your needs whether in business or juggling busy personal affairs.
