About Katie Santoro:
River City Virtual Assistants was founded by Katie Santoro in 2020 at the height of the global pandemic. Katie had been considering virtual assisting for years but wasn’t brave enough to do it until she had to close her physical yoga studio and determine a new path. She took her years of experience in the legal and insurance industry, blended it with her experience running a small business, and began assisting clients in a wide array of industries with everything from basic admin tasks to marketing and website building.
