Hello! I’m Sly Stark.

(they/them)

I’m a non-binary, ADHD and Autistic virtual business assistant, dedicated to helping neurodivergent, queer, creative, and driven entrepreneurs build and manage neuro-inclusive businesses.

Professional Background

Sly entered the workforce with a brief stint in grants, contracts, and research reporting before pivoting to virtual assistance in June 2021, during the Great Resignation. Traditional office environments compromised their creative and neurodivergent strengths, so Sly crafted a freelance career rooted in flexibility, and meaningful impact.

Today, Sly supports a diverse range of people, from creatives to coaches, by helping them establish streamlined workflows, taking certain day-to-day operations off their plate, holding them accountable to their goals, and making sure they don’t burn out in the process.

Education and Certifications

  • Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with emphasis in Business Management from Southeast Missouri State University. Graduated summa cum laude. December 2018.

  • Certified ADHD Virtual Assistant from ADHD Virtual Assistants training program. July 2022.

  • HIPAA Training Certification from TeachMeHIPAA. July 2025.

Who Sly Works With

  • Neurodivergent (ADHD, AuDHD, in particular) & LGBTQ+ freelancers and business owners.

  • Small business owners with fluctuating or low energy in need of empathetic, flexible support.

  • Solopreneurs in industries or professions that do good for the world: Life coaches, leadership coaches, ADHD coaches, therapists, independent musicians, vocal coaches, painters and visual artists, photographers, website designers, authors, historians, podcasters, and just generally any online service providers with a desire to do something good for others.

Outside of Work

You can typically find me gardening, taking nature photos, and hanging out with my three cats.
