Hi I’m Melina
Thank you for visiting my website!
As a Mother of a young child I wanted to be able to work from home and build on my business while raising a family. Voila – Mia’s VA Desk was born! When I am not working you will find me with my family and our beloved dog, exploring the outdoors throughout beautiful British Columbia.
For over 15 years I have worked in Customer Service, Sales, Marketing, Events and Operations. I began my career in retail with Holt Renfrew, and then ventured into the lighting and design industry where I worked in Marketing and Events. I enjoyed the challenge of supporting a sales team with their daily tasks, while running large scale events both in Montreal and Vancouver. I was really able to hone in on my leadership and problem solving skills once I made a new move into the hotel industry as a Catering Sales Manager. Events and clients included Arts Umbrella, BMW, Vancouver International Film Festival, Virgin Radio and the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival.
I have always been passionate about working together with people, and I thrive on communication and relationship building.
That being said, I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Testimonials
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Mia from Mia’s VA Desk. I hired her in the early days of my business to help with the organizational, administrational and marketing aspect of the business. Mia is extremely reliable, professional, efficient and smart. She brings integrity and focus to the table, and nothing gets overlooked or forgotten. I give her my highest recommendation and I’m looking forward to using her services on an ongoing basis.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Melina Mia Sarantopoulos for the past six years. Melina is an intelligent, hard-working, organized and determined individual who will excel at any task she is given. Those traits coupled with her unparallelled social skills will ensure she is the right fit to take on any project.
