WHY GET A PERSONAL ASSISTANT?

Sometimes there's just not enough time in your day to take care of everything that needs to be done. You need someone to assist in doing whatever you don't have time to do, or simply don't want to do.

I can take care of the necessary, practical and even mundane, so you can get on with more important tasks in your life.

I can assist by handling household, business and personal tasks so you can find balance between family, work and other life priorities.

I provide as needed, specialized personal assistant and concierge services to meet the demands of your busy lifestyle…so you can focus on the more important things in life.

Specializing in clients with high-demand personal, professional and social lifestyles, I am committed to helping my clients create more order in their lives.

See the Services section for a few inspiring examples of how I might be able to make your life easier. Schedule only when needed - no commitments required.

Would You Really Be More Productive With A Personal Assistant?

Having someone help manage the things you always forget could be the push you need to finally be more productive. At most companies, executive assistants are increasingly rare. And even if there are assistants at your company, someone charged with organizing travel for three executives just doesn’t have time to remind you of birthdays, let alone make your dental appointments. Another option? Hiring your own personal assistant. People who’ve done it say that even if you’re footing the bill yourself, it can be money well spent...Read Full Article

“Know the Client. Care about the Client. Act for the Client.”

White Pelican Service provides exceptional comprehensive personal assistant, concierge and web services to busy professionals and families in the Fort Collins and Loveland area. I specialize in more than a basic errand service but in developing a relationship with my limited clientele to best support their busy lifestyles and help them live a less stressful and more balanced life.

My goal is to help my clients with all things great and small to make their lives run smoother – whether it be an errand, pet sitting/walking, a small project in the home, organizing, or managing a large detailed home improvement project. In addition, I also provide virtual assistant (VA) services to non-local clients including website maintenance & updates, data gathering, printing services, etc.

I can help you meet your daily demands by providing you with my time so you can spend more of your time doing what you truly enjoy.

TESTIMONIALS

See what others are saying...

Tori is extremely knowledgeable, talented, and personable. She not only brought my dream personal website vision to life, she made the process fun! Tori provided me with timely, dependable, and friendly support and feedback every step of the way and developed custom resources for me that allowed me to update and maintain my site myself after the project was finished. It’s been very pleasant and refreshing to work with someone who maintains such a high level of integrity and professionalism!

Rhea Maze

I have used Tori’s services more than three years. She has been invaluable in researching items as diverse as contract clauses, handyman or trade person evaluations. Also, she has been able to be available to represent my interest when I have been unable to be present for contract negotiation or completion. I anticipate being able to use White Pelican in future property related business of all variety. The service has made my job as an owner and small business manager much simpler

Fort Collins, Small Business Owner

Tori is my "go to" girl when I need anything done that I don't have time for. She puts every effort into the best possible job she can do with anything. I'd trust her with my most valuable possessions and would recommend her services without hesitation.

Tori produces great work! We’ve hired her a couple of times at e Pluribus, and she’s always at the top of our list when we need adult-level professional help with any of our projects—some interesting and some, frankly, dull. Tori always produces realistic, achievable estimates, and then delivers. Although Tori knows a lot, she’s always interested in learning something new, and she routinely improves either the look or the functionality of any project we ask her to work on. We’re happy to have had the opportunity to work with Tori, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
