Avenue & Vine
Strategic Operational Support for the Culinary Industry
Your business, running beautifully.
You didn't build your business to spend your days buried in emails and chasing down loose ends. I step in as your dedicated virtual assistant — bringing calm, structure, and precision to the chaos behind the scenes so you can lead from the front.→ Audit My Processes
The person behind the inbox
I'm Kristen, and I know what it means to wear every hat in a business — because I've been there too.
With over a decade of project management experience in corporate environments, I've spent years building the systems, habits, and instincts that keep operations running smoothly under pressure. But it was marrying into a small family restaurant business that gave me something no corporate role ever could — a deep, personal understanding of what it actually feels like to run a business that's woven into your life.
I started my virtual assistant practice because I wanted to use everything I'd learned to support business owners the way I wish someone had supported us. Not just as a task-taker, but as a steady, reliable presence who genuinely cares about the health of your business — and the life you're building around it.
That's what drives me. Family. Legacy. The belief that when your business runs well, everything else gets a little easier.
I work with a small, intentional roster of clients so that every business I support gets my full care and attention.
