Meet Lisa Assetta

 

Missing PictureBeing organized became a necessity when Lisa’s career as a secretary advanced over 20 plus years to support executives in multiple industries including CEO’s of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc.  She quickly learned that she had to be ultra-organized in order to keep the executives she worked with organized!  The need to stay on track and keep critical items at her fingertips propelled Lisa into the world of organizing for efficiency.

Balancing a career with being a single mom presented Lisa with additional organizational and time-management challenges. Raising a child on her own meant having to manage the details of work and home with one income and little time and space.  Lisa’s need to be organized soon turned into a passion for organizing. She supplemented her professional administrative training with reading and researching all she could about organizing everything from the office desktop to the kitchen countertop!

In 2007 Lisa launched her own business Office Assistance Plus which offers support for busy professionals and small business owners.  Lisa’s goal to share her passion for organizing is combined with her desire to simplify life for her clients by helping them create a healthy, functional, and productive environment in which to work and live. To help her clients be more eco-friendly, Lisa incorporates the Green Principles of “reduce, reuse/repurpose, and recycle” into her organizing sessions for the office and home.

Lisa is a member of the International Association of Administrative Professionals and the National Association for Female Executives. Lisa is an active volunteer for Hands on Tampa/United Way and the Susan G. Komen Foundation Race for the Cure.
