About
I’m Salma Burney, the person behind Virtual Girl Friday. I’ve supported executive coaches, authors, accountants and business consultants with the administrative and technical work that keeps a business moving.
My clients bring the expertise. I make sure the newsletters go out, the Zoom room works and the social feeds stay active, so they can focus on what they do best.
I spent 23 years as an executive and administrative assistant. I got tired of doing the same thing every day and waiting around after finishing my work early. In 2004 I heard about virtual assistants, took the leap into self-employment, and I’ve loved it ever since.
I live a unique life: 100% off the grid, making my own power from the sun and wind. My husband Mike and I also created Off Grid Adventure, a back-to-nature campground where you can camp on your own, with your family or with your horse!
Coaches, authors and small business owners who handed off the tech and got their time back.
Salma is so knowledgeable and experienced with producing virtual sessions! I would strategize with her before sessions to get her perspective on the session flow, the clarity of the content, and most importantly the interactivity of the session. Her ideas and suggestions on how to make a session more interactive and engaging are so spot on that I incorporate them into the sessions. After each session, I debrief with Salma to get her observations and feedback which is always so constructive and insightful. Additionally, Salma knows all the technical aspects of the Zoom platform (and others), so the sessions run seamlessly, smoothly and feels very professional. When Salma is producing, I am confident the audience will feel taken care of, and Salma is fully partnering with me to deliver the session. I highly recommend Salma.
Salma is absolutely amazing and took a lot of stress and anxiety off me so I could focus on our networking event. Highly recommend working with her!
Salma is my right hand woman when it comes to helping me with tech issues, social media promotion, e-newsletter preparation, Mail Chimp management, website updates and support during Zoom workshop sessions. She is highly efficient and a joy to work with!! I couldn’t do what I do without her.
