Our Facilitation and Program Team: Rachel de Assuncao Bio

Rachel de Assuncao completed her Diploma in Cinema, Television, Stage & Radio at SAIT, majoring in Writing, Producing and Directing for Television. The skills she developed during this educational venture, in addition to her workplace experience, have provided her with a deep understanding of the production process. This understanding, coupled with her ability to manage multiple tasks and timelines make her the ideal candidate to act as Production Director and Virtual Assistant.

In addition to her education and experience in video production, Rachel is a certified Genuine Contact Professional. The skills she developed during this training allow Rachel to work with organizational consultants using the Program on a deeper level than most assistants are able to provide, as she shares an understanding of the work they are bringing out into the world and the energy and languaging associated with that work. Her deep understanding of the Genuine Contact Program gives her the understanding to work with her clients in accordance with the underpinning values, beliefs, and strategies of the Program. Rachel draws upon these skills when working with all of her clients, operating from a healthy and balanced business foundation and assisting her clients in moving to new levels of success.

Rachel’s career began as the Executive Assistant to the management team at writeMedia Marketing & Communications. During this time, she assisted in the development of several marketing campaigns, and her devotion to Production Management was born. Upon completing her education, and full of desire to combine her inherent management skills with the new-found love of television production, Rachel joined the Regan Productions team. During her employment, she was the production manager for their television program ‘Tune Into’ and production manager and producer for a variety of corporate video and CD ROM productions.

In February 2005, Rachel launched Musango, a virtual assistant company offering production management, event planning, business writing, and basic graphic design services to small businesses. She relocated her business to Brantford, Ontario in September 2005 to better meet the needs of her client base, which developed quite quickly throughout the Eastern part of North America.

Rachel Assuncao continues to grow her business, working with organizations in a variety of industries including organizational development consulting, music production, video production, and sports.
