Julie Shankle
Founder | President

Welcome to VirtualDeskFlowr, where experience meets dedication in the realm of administrative and marketing services. As the founder and driving force behind VirtualDeskFlowr, I weave over twenty-five years of professional finesse into a tapestry of personalized solutions for small to mid-sized companies.

My journey began in 2019 when I embarked on the entrepreneurial path, establishing VirtualDeskFlowr to cater to the unique needs of Executives and Entrepreneurs. With a rich background encompassing diverse roles, I have honed my skills in digital marketing, administrative support, customer service, and project management. I thrive on prioritization, problem-solving, and achieving results while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.

Drawing from my experience as a virtual assistant since 2013 and having served as a risk administrator, I excel in proactive decision-making and overcoming challenges through thorough project planning. With a degree in Business Administration and a Marketing major from Ursinus College as my academic foundation, I bring a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. As a former substitute teacher, my teaching style isn’t just about imparting knowledge; it’s about patience, adaptability, and effective communication.

But VirtualDeskFlowr isn’t just about expertise; it’s about weaving altruism into the fabric of our work. From food drives to collaboration with the Coalition to end Homelessness, our commitment to community-driven initiatives is a testament to the heart of the brand.

Continuous learning, networking, and cultivating productive relationships are the pillars of our success. We are not just a service provider; we are a partner dedicated to enhancing your business’s efficiency and impact. At VirtualDeskFlowr, professionalism meets warmth, and your success becomes our shared journey.

“Julie approached all tasks and projects with a can-do attitude that went beyond my expectations, to ensure success. She liaised between various departments for seamless coordination and has an instinctive ability to lead a project with little input from others, with great attention to detail. Her technical ability is exemplary and she has a remarkable ability to anticipate needs and proactively address them.

Julie was an incredible resource and I wholeheartedly recommend her for the unique combination of skill and dedication she brings to any team.”

“Julie’s level of service and dedication she gave me and the team was top notch. I greatly appreciated her positivity and willingness to research, call, and analyze various options for me in planning for travel, and upcoming hires, while managing all the logistics that go into smooth meetings and events. She was not only professional but quickly became a friend at our company who we value very much.”

“Julie worked with us to come up with a marketing plan as well as make some processes more efficient and professional. I work with a company full of guys and none of us have the creative brain to come up with ads and contracts that will appeal to all customers. Julie worked with me hand in hand until I was completely satisfied. I learned so much throughout this process and look forward to working with Julie on future projects. 10/10 and highly recommend to any existing or new business to improve in all aspects of marketing your business correctly. I do not have a creative mind and she guided me along the way. It was a phenomenal experience for me.”

“Weddings are one of the most special days for a bride. As much as we try to remember every single moment, we immerse ourselves in celebration, and before we know it that magical day has come to an end. Thanks to Julie, and her seamless videography skills, I’m able to watch the beauty of my wedding day as it unfolded. She captured the celebration perfectly! I absolutely love that I can watch the video and feel like I’m reliving one of the most joyous days of my life!”

Kellie

The happy bride

“Highly recommend Julie! She helped us the night before a big meeting to put together a professional portfolio that we felt confident presenting! Since then we have used her for different administrative needs and because we are a small business we love the fact that we can get professional work done on an “as needed” basis. She is professional and pays attention to details! Everything we need is done virtually and it saves us time and money!”
