Meet the team of Beyond the Maze
We’re Australian virtual assistants and receptionists, and we’re amazing at what we do!
A team you can trust
Our team culture at Beyond the Maze is so amazing that we won an award for it! Each team member is a highly experienced Australian Virtual Assistant and pride themselves on always achieving the desired result for our clients.
Specialising in the allied health, financial and coaching industries, there’s nothing we love more than helping clients set up systems, run businesses, and conquer admin.
Paula Burgess
Boss Lady
With over 20 years’ experience in admin roles, Paula is the director of this award-winning business. When she’s not working as your VA, being a coach, writing books or speaking, Paula’s a dedicated mum to a special needs child.
She’s also a super proud Brissy girl who loves fast cars and whose insane fear of spiders sees her running faster than the Flash anytime she spots one.
Ann Lawson
Client Whisperer
After hours, you’ll find Ann spending time with her family and furbabies, watching a good murder mystery and dabbling in numerology while enjoying her wine and bribes.
Bec Presley
Client Pleaser
The always smiling Bec has over 15 years of admin experience and knows all the ins and outs of the financial industry. She’s perfect for our financial planning clients and they love her high standard of service. Loving a good chat, Bec is often heard talking to herself, and when there’s a loud bump in the office, we know it’s just our clumsy lefty walking into a door or a wall once again.
Shay-lee Wadwell
Phone Goddess
Paula Stribning
The Multi-Tasking Maestro
Introducing Paula, our virtuoso of admin! When she’s not expertly juggling calls and calendars, she’s the loving conductor of a symphony with her three neurodivergent “kidults.” Paula’s talents don’t stop there—she’s also a craft enthusiast, a camping aficionado, and a live music lover. Her favorite fragrance? The earthy aroma of petrichor, bringing a touch of nature to her bustling life. Whether it’s organising a schedule or enjoying the great outdoors, Paula is always ready to make it all happen!
Emily Mitchell
The Spreadsheet Sorceress
Introducing Emily, our self-proclaimed organisational nerd and wizard of Excel! When she’s not crafting intricate spreadsheets with the precision of an artist, she’s diving into the world of finance or lending her expertise in Allied Health. In her spare time, Emily trades her spreadsheets for soil, embarking on epic adventures at her family’s farm—whether she’s wrangling chickens or designing the ultimate vegetable garden. From high-tech to high haystacks, Emily’s curiosity and creativity are always in full swing!
Rowina Pojas (Weng)
Artistic Marketer
If you want to take your social media up a notch, speak to our friendly social media marketer, Weng. Her talents lie in creating beautiful social media graphics and posts that make your online communications meaningful, fun and a standout in the crowd. Weng loves managing your online presence and acts like a part of your team. In her spare time, you’ll find Weng resting in tranquil havens, reading books and enjoying pizza and coffee (together!).
Rhea Sangrio
The Task Tamer
When she’s not warding off worms with a valiant (yet gentle) scream, Rhea is our fearless personal assistant to the boss, turning chaos into harmony with her magical organisational skills. Whether it’s tackling a new project or nurturing her beloved plants, Rhea brings a growth mindset to everything she touches. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she’s on a mission to help us reach new heights. Just don’t ask her to handle the worms!
