About Me : Sharyn Munro VA

Sharyn Munro

Hi, I am Sharyn Munro, the owner of Sharyn Munro Virtual Assistance (ABN: 7967 3613 746) and I’d like to tell you a little bit about me.

I have had a lot of experience in administration roles. And prior to that, more than ten years working in libraries. I’ve worked in a variety of fields, therefore I’ve developed a broad range of knowledge and skills. In that time, I’ve also gained a strong focus on customer service. I aim to be the Personal Assistant you always wanted, but could never thought you could afford.

Outside work, I love reading, watching movies and TV and surfing the web. I like to try my hand at home improvements which can have entertaining results. I’m a terrible cook, a passable handy person and brilliant with pretty much anything tech related.

I’m very passionate about human rights and free speech. I’ve been an active member of the Amnesty International Chermside group since 2010. I’m also one of the administrators on our Facebook page. I have previously volunteered with SANDBAG as well as spending 5 years as Secretary of the SANDBAG Board.

I have a cat called Pedro who is really good about letting me work. As long as I ensure that he has full bowls of dry food, wet food and/or water as his whim dictates. Oh, and pats. But only when HE wants them. And only for as long as HE wants them. In fact, my inability to decipher his patting mood makes me wish I’d had the foresight to buy stocks in Band-Aid.

I also have a budgie called Bluegathor. She bites us all a lot, but I think that’s just how she shows she cares.

Business experience

I started in business in October 2008. I was between jobs and dealing with some family illnesses when I bumped into an ex colleague while visiting someone in hospital. He suggested I become a Virtual Assistant, because he needed one. So I went home and Googled what a Virtual Assistant was. And I realised it would allow me to have the freedom I needed at the time. So a week later I registered my business name. The rest is history.

I specialise in word processing, typing, data entry and general administration services. My clients are varied and cover a huge number of industries including: alternative practitioners; consultants; entertainment; finance; foodies; legal; not-for-profits; property; recruitment; retail; tradies; and trainers.

My skills, knowledge and previous experience include:
