About Marisa Hodson
Who I am and what I do
Who is Your Virtual Desk?
I’m Marisa Hodson, the founder and Virtual Assistant (VA) of Your Virtual Desk, which launched in 2020.
I love organising, and am exceptionally skilled in organising even the most disorganised business owners! I am passionate about helping others succeed in their business and get a kick out of watching my clients hit their goals and then some, with my assistance.
If you’re juggling trying to do all the things in your business and looking for somewhere to outsource it to, that’s where I come in. Let me take a load off, so you can focus on what’s most important.
Life before Your Virtual Desk
Before leaping into the world of Virtual Assistance, I spent over 15 years working as a Personal Assistant and Team Manager in the corporate and FMCG sphere covering areas including marketing, product development, basic IT, purchasing, and of course, organising bosses with hectic and full calendars.
I have worked with various bosses and teams, and I’ve learned what makes people tick and what it takes to get things done. I have implemented new processes, developed new systems, taken workload off business owners, and watched efficiency and productivity grow. I now use my experience to help my clients’ businesses thrive.
Away from Your Virtual Desk
I reside in the Macarthur area of Sydney with my 9 and 7-year-old – who were my reason for seeking a flexible work-life balance that allowed me to be there for them more.
When I’m not on mum duty, I love cooking (and eating!), getting lost in a good book, taking in the great outdoors on a walk or hike, and enjoying some much-needed downtime with my partner and my closest friends.
