Making your To-Do list shorter - and your days way brighter

About me

Hi there! Welcome to Shine Forward!

Hi, I’m Sam — your go-to virtual assistant with a teacher’s heart and a creative soul.

After 8 wonderful years as a kindergarten teacher, I’ve learned how to juggle a hundred moving parts with calm and care. From planning lessons and managing schedules to communicating clearly (even in the midst of chaos!), I’ve developed the kind of organization, patience, and problem-solving that translates beautifully into the VA world.

Now, I’m channeling those strengths—and a love for all things streamlined and stress-free—into supporting busy entrepreneurs behind the scenes. When I’m not working, you’ll find me curled up with a good book in hand, sipping a delicious coffee, or enjoying a peaceful hike to reset and recharge.

I’m so glad you’re here—let’s make your days lighter and your business brighter.
