Who is Task Owl?

Task Owl VA is me, Laurie McAleenan. It is my solo-run business, built to support entrepreneurs who are ready to stop juggling and start streamlining. I offer strategic, behind-the-scenes support that helps you reclaim your time, organize your operations, and move forward with more clarity and ease. Whether you need a Virtual Assistant, an Online Business Manager, or a one-time project fix, I’m here to be the calm in your business chaos—and a trusted partner you can count on.

My Philosophy

I believe that running a business shouldn't mean doing everything alone. With the right systems, clear communication, and thoughtful support, your daily operations can feel calm, not chaotic. Whether I’m managing your inbox, refining your workflows, or helping you move toward your next big goal, my approach is rooted in clarity, consistency, and respect for your time. Because sustainable growth starts with intentional operations—and you don’t have to carry it all.

Pay-As-You-Go Simplicity

No surprise invoices or complicated retainers. Use a debit-style system to purchase hours or packages as needed, giving you flexibility and control over your budget.

Trusted, Personalized Support

You’ll get more than just task execution. With Task Owl, you gain a thinking partner who understands your business, anticipates needs, and brings calm, clarity, and consistency to your operations.

Executive level support with a personal touch

Professional, reliable assistance that blends corporate-level precision with the care and flexibility of a trusted partner.

Stay Aligned and On Track

Regular check-ins to ensure priorities stay clear and tasks stay on track.

Your dream. Our mission.

Freedom to Focus on What Matters Most

At Task Owl VA, we believe your time should be spent leading, creating, and growing—not drowning in the details. Our mission is to lift the weight of busywork so you can refocus your energy on the vision that inspired your business in the first place. With reliable, strategic support, you gain more than extra hours—you gain the freedom to move forward with clarity and purpose.

My Background

I started my career as a document analyst for NASA’s Space Shuttle program, supporting a 1,000-member operations team with technical writing, audit coordination, and process documentation. After stepping away from corporate life to raise my family, I transitioned into freelance design and digital entrepreneurship, building my own creative business from the ground up.

That real-world experience, combined with my background in operations, is what led me to launch Task Owl VA. Today, I provide fractional business support for entrepreneurs, creatives, and service providers—especially financial advisors, artists, and solo business owners wearing too many hats. My services range from inbox and calendar management to design audits, SOP development, and client communication systems.

I hold a B.S. in Graphic Design from Florida Southern College and an MFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University.

Interests Beyond Work

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and exploring new places. Traveling gives me fresh perspectives, and I love capturing moments through photography. I’m also an avid reader, particularly of science fiction and biographies. Participating in local community events and volunteering is important to me, as I believe in giving back and supporting those around me.
