Hi, I’m Emily!

I’m the girl behind Virtual Essentials! My passion to help people has been in me since a child and grew during my past work in the service industry working for luxury spas and hotels, and holistic health care. During my work I saw a need to help small businesses and entrepreneurs, I want them to grow and flourish to the best of their ability helping them achieve their dreams and give them more time to focus on the work that made them start a business in the first place. I use my broad range of skills and expertise in business management, technology, marketing, and web design to help the needs of each business I work with!

I reside in Cleveland, Ohio with my boyfriend Grayson and our Goldendoodle named Ollie and 20 chickens. When I’m not working I enjoy cooking, gardening, and DIYing our fixer upper house creating the homestead of our dreams! I enjoy being outside in nature, and strive to learn something new every day.

Fun Facts:

  • We are excited to grow our family and our expecting our first baby in February!

  • My dream is to have my own little homestead one day, right now I have a garden and laying hens, but one day I want to get a milk cow! (we bought our first home in 2023 on 7 acres and have been slowly fixing it up after ripping it down to the studs, dreams do come true… one step closer to getting that cow!!)

  • I jumped on the the sourdough bread making bandwagon and am the proud owner of my own homemade 4 year old sourdough starter, I’m not a pro bread maker but I’m getting better each time!

  • Talk to me about anything health and wellness and we will be best friends!
