As our virtual assistant, Elissa acts as our ‘CENTCOM’ of sorts, managing details and coordinating operations from the Wayfind basecamp. In other words, she keeps us organized, proofread and edited at the tactical level. With 20 years of administrative and executive assistant experience, Elissa genuinely enjoys accomplishing the day-to-day operations and tasks required for a business to exist. Hailing from a long line of word-nerds that includes editors, authors and walking dictionaries, she edits any flyer, report, or website with glee and vigor while daily fighting the urge to be the annoying online grammar nazi.

With a career spanning the nonprofit arena, the corporate world, and all points in between, Elissa is comfortable and skilled at navigating each field’s unique orientation. She is adept at navigating the myriad of details that must be addressed along marketing byways of implementation and review, and believes that even seemingly small or insignificant tasks oftentimes lead to the most meaningful opportunities and results. Most recently she assisted the CEO of a fast-growing investigations and compliance firm in Washington, DC and has worked alongside the leaders of organizations such as The Salvation Army and Anheuser Busch.

“Being a Virtual Assistant affords me the opportunity to live into my inherent talents and passions, allowing me to do what I was created to do so those I assist can succeed at their passions.”

After signing off for the day, Elissa can be found singing the praises of her two spectacularly smart and spirited children all day long, while adoring her husband of 14 years as the most amazing man she’s ever known. After 4 cross-country moves, in fall 2015 Elissa and her family settled down into their dream home in Hanover, VA—a lovely 19th-century farmhouse atop a hill on a backcountry road.
