Cyndi Papia: A Professional Partner Who Knows How to Deliver
For some the setback of incurring an injury that puts a halt on a career would be enough to throw in the towel but not for Cyndi Papia. Cyndi has persistence, determination, and moxie. The same qualities that led her to begin (working with one arm in a cast) offering on- and off-site administrative support and in December 1998 as virtual assistance quickly grew to global recognition as one of the first “virtual assistant” businesses and quickly grew to global recognition for expertise in:
• website creation (specializing in all things WordPress)
• administrative support
• Realtor support
• event organization
• and desktop publishing services
Cyndi relies on her deep business roots — beginning in the early ‘80s in the nonprofit and civil service sectors and later as a freelance Massachusetts court reporter/stenographer — to assist clients in growing their 
businesses, streamlining outsourcing their administrative and website support needs, showing clients that:
• getting virtual assistant support help really can be painless
• website dreams can become a reality at affordable prices
• and that outsourcing and streamlining marketing and administrative tasks is a breeze with the right person taking the lead
With each project she touches, Cyndi brings a business administration management degree plus over 25 years of real-world experiences in the private, government, and nonprofit sectors, as well as her U.S.-based team of virtual specialists.
Her client base spans from Realtors and nonprofit organizations to musicians and bands, from virtual online professionals to small and mid-sized business owners in genres stretching across the arts of painters and artists to tradesmen of all kinds and restaurants.
The one thing Cyndi’s clients ALL have in common is a desire to work with someone who is professional and 110% invested and focused on their projects. You, too, will find this to be a FACT when working with Cyndi and the team of Office To-Go specialists she’s assembled.
In addition to her virtual business services practice, Cyndi is also owner of Cynderella Entertainment & Events, a full-service entertainment booking agency, event planning and promotions business providing 5-star service one event at a time. She’s skilled in working with national acts as well as local and regional bands and musicians to handle the full spectrum of event services – manager, promoter, and entertainment booking agent.
Cyndi is a member of the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA), REVA Institute, VA League, New England Virtual Assistants (NEVA) and VANA. She’s been awarded a VANA VAccolade Award in recognition for her professionalism in her business conduct on the web and amongst other virtual assistants.
She is an IVAA Certified Real Estate Support Specialist (CRESS) and Ethics Checked Virtual Assistant, Rainmaker Trained Virtual Assistant, Real Estate WEBOGRAPHER Professional and Brainbench certified in English Vocabulary, Web Design Concepts and Typing Speed & Accuracy. She is also a Massachusetts Licensed Entertainment Agent.
Cyndi makes her home in Central Massachusetts. When she’s not in the office you’ll find her volunteering her time and skills to nonprofit organizations, traveling or dancing.
