WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
About Beyond the Maze virtual team QLD Australia

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

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

Ann Lawson

Client Whisperer

Ann’s super talent lies in building relationships, knowing what our clients need, answering their calls and doing admin, and generally keeping our clients happy. If you need something above and beyond, Ann is open to accepting bribes of chocolate and wine.
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

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

Shay-lee Wadwell

Phone Goddess

With a bright and bubbly personality, Shay is our resident receptionist, answering calls for our clients and always managing to keep a smile on her face. As a total go-getter, Shay rises to any challenge thrown at her, finding solutions and going the extra mile for our clients. As a self- proclaimed nerd at heart, Shay plays by the rules and will challenge anyone trying to cheat during a game of Uno.
Paula Stribning

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

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!

Chrissia Peregrino

Chrissia Peregrino

Freediving VA

When you need a VA for a day, you can’t go past our personable and positive Chrissia. Chrissia tackles your day-to-day admin tasks with a calm demeanour like a pro. She’s quick to pick up your systems, willing to learn how your business operates and takes on any admin chores you send her way. When she’s not helping clients with the admin work, Chrissia loves spending time with her dog Skye or freediving for the thrill of the fall (not with her dog!).

Rowina Pojas (Weng)

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

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!

Marl Mendoza

Marl Mendoza

The Social Media Sorcerer

Meet Marl, our social media wizard and tactical mastermind! By day, he crafts marketing strategies that are as sharp as his gaming skills, helping clients level up their online presence. By night, he’s a champion in the realm of mobile games, conquering each level with the same strategic thinking he brings to his work. Every new social media campaign is like a thrilling game, and Marl is always ready for the next challenge, armed with creativity and cleverness.

Sherwin Baguio

Sherwin Baguio

The Admin Artiste

Meet Sherwin, the admin assistant who transforms chaos into calm with the flick of a spreadsheet! A quick learner with a proactive approach, Sherwin takes the load off our team, ensuring everything runs smoothly even when things get hectic. In his spare time, he swaps his keyboard for a sketchpad, channelling his creative energy into drawing. For Sherwin, each artistic endeavour is a chance to refine his skills and find fresh inspiration, bringing a touch of creativity to both art and admin.

River

River

Team Bonder

As the resident time waster, there’s nothing River loves more than moving around our office, surprising our team with a slobbery kiss, demanding pats for being adorable and dropping a soggy ball at our feet to play. Not liking that the team don’t have time to play, River one day hopes to learn to use the coffee machine to become the coffee bringer and an integral part of the team.
