About Me

​Carrie Mau
​​
Virtual Assistant
I am a Minnesotan born and bred, a wife to my husband of 27 years and mom to two boys ages 21 and 15. A lifelong dog lover and current mom to a loveable golden retriever. In my free time I love reading - books are my passion and I surround myself with them whenever possible. I also enjoy gardening, camping with family and friends, spending time in nature, knitting and trivia (I am a wealth of useless knowledge).

When I decided to become a stay-at-home mom, extra income was still needed. To solve that issue, I turned two of my passions, crafting and antiques, into a small business that I ran for the last 13 years while simultaneously being a homemaker. Running my own business provided me with experience in budgeting, marketing
and time management.


I graduated from Luther College with a BA in history and anthropology. Straight out of college I went to work at Barnes & Noble as a Department Supervisor. After the bookstore, I spent 11 years as an Administrative Assistant/Planning Coordinator at Carmichael Lynch Advertising in Minneapolis. Working at Carmichael Lynch provided me with experience working on tight deadlines, getting very good at multitasking and making the impossible possible (I once hired a donkey to participate in a new business pitch on the other side of the country!). Creating is a passion and I love putting together presentations and marketing materials. Organizing and managing databases are another business task that I love to take care of for others. In my latest role as a small business owner, I helped fellow business owners use social media as a business tool and increase their online presence. I have strong customer service and people skills and ​I meet challenges head on. Learning new things and being capable of learning on the go are characteristics that have me starting another small business at 51.

 All these skills that I have learned over the years I now want to apply to helping other small business owners, business owners like you. Through my role as a virtual assistant, I can help with administrative tasks, database management, email maintenance, proofreading, presentation preparation, basic design projects and social media management just to name a few. By taking care of the day-to-day administrative tasks, it makes time for you, the business owner, to get back to the important things like creating and growing your business.

​​Let me do all the little things that get in the way of you being able to concentrate on the bigger picture.
