I've spent most of my career in safety administration - firstly in construction, then mining, aviation and finally oil and gas.
During my working life I've been fortunate enough to learn a wide range of skills and built experience in all aspects of administration, reporting, systems, communications, procedures and safety. And I’m now bringing this wealth of knowledge to the small business world.
I’m obsessed with detail; I love organisation, order and making life easier for my clients. I get a kick out of a well-executed spreadsheet or a beautiful system setup, and I’m well known for producing work to a high standard, even under pressure.
I’m also a confident communicator, who understands you’re busy and won’t be in your inbox every five minutes. If you want a VA who takes the initiative, makes decisions, and relieves the pressure on you, then we’re a good fit.
Hey *waves*
I'm so glad you've made it off the home page ... it means you're interested to know more about me, and I can't wait to get to know you too.
Empress of Order was “born” in 2018 when I made the decision to leave my senior role in a corporate nine to five to get more balance in my life. You know the deal … long hours, lots of stress, no satisfaction – I knew that things had to change!
Now I’m an award-winning VA who helps women with business overload bring order and calm to their lives, and co-owner of The Digital Mums Directory
From corporate Safety Advisor to Head Empress ...
Taking care of all the things ...
As an ambitious entrepreneur chances are you have ‘all the things’ going on, you’re great at the big picture vision, making strategic decisions and knowing what needs to be done but … your zone of genius is not necessarily finishing.
And that’s where I come in …
Belbin testing proves that I’m a ‘completer finisher’ … we’re often described as orderly, conscientious, detail-oriented people. Completer finishers have a great capacity for follow through and wouldn't normally start something they couldn't finish.
I’ve been certified by the VA Institute as a Quality VA. This is an Australian-based certification focusing on industry excellence and relevant / current experience. It sets a baseline for acceptable, reliable and reputable VA standards in the Australian VA Industry.
Does that sound like the type of person you’d like on your team?
I love organisation, order and making my
clients feel supported and calm!
When you work with me, you get me ...
When you engage Empress of Order to support you in your business, you work directly with me … I don’t outsource your tasks, so you’ll always get work to the same high standard you’ve come to expect.
You don’t have to take my word for how fabulous it is to work with me … here's what my clients have to say ...
"Marie keeps everything running efficiently and with ease. She is so easy to work with & is super reliable"

"She helped me to think of more effective ways of managing the processes. It's a weight off my mind"
