Melissa Thurston | Founder of Red Pen Virtual Assistants

Owner of Red Pen Virtual Assistants

Melissa Loman Thurston is a former elementary school teacher with a master’s degree in Educational Leadership. Throughout college and the beginning of her career, Melissa worked as a remote freelancer. Her favorite part? The schedule flexibility and ability to work from home!

For more than four years, Melissa worked as a dedicated virtual assistant for various clients on a wide variety of projects. While she loved being a virtual assistant, she found it was extremely difficult to find reliable clients outside of social media.

After being a passionate teacher for 17 years, Melissa decided to pave a new path. She started Red Pen Virtual Assistants – a business that connects teachers hoping to become virtual assistants with business owners. Since the beginning of 2022, Melissa has built an online marketplace that takes the guesswork out of finding a virtual assistant for business owners or a job in the field.
