Anna: The Friendly Networkhood Freelancer

Your Next Secret Weapon

Running a business is a full-time job— and so is everything else that comes with it. That's where I come in.

Hi, I'm Anna— a Virtual Assistant based in beautiful Northern Ontario, Canada, and I've been building the exact skills that matter most to my clients for over a decade: staying organized under pressure, catching what falls through the cracks, and genuinely caring about the success of every business I support. That journey has taken me through roles as an Executive Assistant, Vice President, and Editor-in-Chief across (fully remote as well as hybrid) positions in administration, sales, entertainment, and publishing ... and I bring that arsenal of experience to every client I work with.

Whether you're a start-up founder buried in your inbox, an e-commerce owner drowning in day-to-day logistics, or a service-based business trying to scale without burning out: I offer a varied blend of experience and self-taught resources. I specialize in the behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything moving— calendar/inbox management, customer communications, database organization, bookkeeping support, content creation, social media, graphic design, lead generation, and more.

My approach is simple: learn your business like it's my own, anticipate your needs before you have to ask, and show up every day ready to make your life a little easier. I'm resourceful, adaptable, and genuinely invested in the growth of every business I support — one client at a time.

Paige Hubbard

Owner of Fresh Start Talent Academy | Executive Assistant

Anna van Leeuwen has been my virtual assistant for Fresh Start Talent Academy for several months now, and let me say that I am thoroughly pleased with her efficiency! I came to her in a disarray with my company’s paperwork, workflow, and organization. She was able to develop a system within the company that makes the client experience a joy. She has also formed what I like to call the “DNA” of Fresh Start. She’s added substance to my vision and is very communicative with her tasks. Not only has she made my life easier, but she has taken my business to new heights.

I highly, highly recommend hiring Anna for your virtual needs!

I am an indie author, and I employed Anna Van Leeuwen as my Virtual Assistant. During that time she managed Instagram and Facebook author pages for me, as well as sending out social media engagement posts and writing blog posts for my website. She was conscientious and dependable, always willing to chat and discuss new ideas. She also managed the street team for one of my book releases in 2021, rallying the members and keeping them on track. Anna did this while simultaneously working for other authors and a job in the Real World. She is eminently worthy of your time and should be strongly considered for any position which requires creativity and reliability.

I hired Anna van Leeuwen for my paper resume, as well as for my personal portfolio website. She handled both projects from start-to-finish with professional grace and crystalline communication. She efficiently delegated tasks between other assistants and kept the project running smoothly. She showed me true work ethic and unwavering determination, despite being limited by the few tools and scant bit of material I could offer her to start with. I think Anna van Leeuwen is an invaluable addition to anyone's team

Miss Van Leeuwen’s services are beyond phenomenal. As a former employer and current client: not only is Anna capable and smart, but she is, without a doubt, one of the best free-agent editors on the market, with skills that rival most journalism majors. She has a variety of talents in the field of editing, and chief among them is her ghostwriting and ability to see what her clients are trying to portray and accurately help them. If you want quality, she’s the person to go to.

I had the pleasure of working with Anna as a virtual assistant for my business for almost 2 years. She managed all of our incoming calls for a 12-location company. She assisted in sales initiatives and led customer success. She quickly became an integral part of our operations. Anna is exceptionally reliable, professional, and organized. She communicates clearly, follows through on every commitment, and handles both clients and internal processes with a high level of care and attention. What stood out most was her ability to manage sales conversations while maintaining a genuine, relationship-focused approach — something that is critical in our business. She consistently represented our brand with integrity and helped create a positive experience for every person she interacted with. Knowing Anna was managing this side of the business gave me complete confidence and freed up valuable time to focus on growth. I would highly recommend Anna to any business looking for a capable, trustworthy, and proactive virtual assistant who can truly make an impact.
