Ashley Tapalla
Admin & Bookkeeping Virtual Assistant

Ashley brings a calm, creative energy to the Savvy Squad. With a background that spans media, aviation operations, and customer service, she’s no stranger to high-pressure environments - or making sense of complex information. From prompting news anchors live on-air to helping lead an events team, she’s worked behind the scenes in roles where precision and adaptability were key.

She thrives on variety, and loves admin work that calls for structure, accuracy, and a bit of creative problem-solving. Whether it’s compiling reports, refining documents, or jumping into a project that needs order and polish, Ashley takes it in stride, and always with a thoughtful approach.

When she’s not at work, Ashley’s out exploring the world solo, sampling new cuisines, or at home listening to music, watching movies, and walking her dog.
