My name is Devona. I'm an Executive Assistant catering to busy parents, driven entrepreneurs, productive teams, startups, nonprofits and everyone in between.
About ten years after graduating college and fulfilling a career in the legal field, I left my government paralegal job with my sights set on starting a family and a scenario where I could be a present, active mom without sacrificing my professional identity. In 2015, I started working as an Executive Assistant and built a network of clients whose work was inspirational and meaningful. It came so easily to invest myself fully in the work they were doing and their partnerships meant a lot to me. As my business grew, so did the network of wonderful people I met and worked with, and the rest is history.
I reside in Northeast Ohio with a dog and two cats, my 8 year old son and my wife. In my free time, I love exploring the world through the lens of my camera, hiking, biking, camping and just about anything outdoors. I'm a vegan and I love to cook and bake. I especially love the challenge of taking a childhood favorite and veganizing it perfectly for my wife and son to enjoy. I love road trips, weekend staycations, meeting new people, a good glass of wine and coffee-- lots and lots of coffee!
