Our Team
Melanie Weigel
Founder & Business Strategist
My specialities: Launch Support, Tech Support, Project Management, Podcast Production
I'm Melanie. A little bit about me: I'm mid-30's and born and raised in Kansas City, MO. You'll often see me wearing all black and I live in yoga pants. I love traveling, the beach, and personal development - anything that helps me to become better than I was yesterday.
My work history started in the restaurant and bar industry. I woke up and realized that I just had to change my life (as an entrepreneur - maybe you can relate!). I wanted to move to the beach and work for myself, and that is how my vision for Virtually Anything Assistants began.
I began my career in 2011 working with several businesses from start-up companies to Fortune 1000 CEO's. Fast forward four years: I decided to take it a step further, into a full-time business, and that's when I began learning how to manage multiple clients while still providing excellent service. However, I kept seeing a missing piece: because I was a team and project manager in most of my roles, I was spending a ton of time researching, interviewing and hiring for clients.
I realized that there was a need for a service that does it all - beyond your general VA work. I decided to turn my incredible skill set into my own Virtual Assistant Agency that I could run my way, without the "scope of service" that is generally pushed by large VA companies. I have a passion for helping businesses succeed; it truly makes me happy to be a part of that process. Myself and my team serve entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, CEO's, and even brick and mortar companies with all of their business needs.
Whether you know EXACTLY what you want/need or have never delegated anything in your life and need 100% direction on how we can save your sanity, we are HERE FOR YOU. I've been able to turn my passion for helping businesses and entrepreneurs into my full-time career - on my terms (& yours!) and nothing is more important to me than your happiness. Feel free to contact me to say hi!

The Ad Hoc Freelancers
Here at VAA, we regularly work with a number of trusted freelancers that we've vetted and know complete high-quality work. We have Nik with video editing, Lindsey with tech, Leslie with ads, Cindy with social engagement, and more. This could include graphic design, web design, copywriters, marketers, additional tech support, and audio/video editors that we know and trust to bring in to assist with projects when needed.
The freelancer who works on these projects for our team depends on availability, however we will always ensure cohesiveness and will generally keep the same freelancer on any long-term project.
We're happy to send you any direct freelancers bio and intro that will be working on any project, and we will always let you know before we pass something off to another freelancer. But you can always know that if there is anything we don't currently do in house, we'll find someone amazing - and manage them - to make it happen for you.
