    MEET OUR PANELISTS 

    ELLIE BURKE

    Ellie Burke is a Certified Life Coach and ERYT-500 with a M. Ed. from George Washington University. She has been working in the fields of holistic wellbeing and directed self-discovery for over two decades blending her background in educational philosophy and methodology, human development and life coaching techniques, and experience in the mind-body sciences of yoga and meditation.

    CRYSTAL SIMMONS

    Crystal Simmons isn’t one to leave a problem unsolved, so when—after years in corporate America—she realized there was a disconnect between employers’ expectations and employee performance.  
    When she looked closely and connected with her colleagues, what she found was that employers were failing to connect on an authentic level with employees, so Crystal began to take on a leadership role among her peers, later moving into coaching her work teams. 
    Finding joy in coaching, she soon thought up a venture that would make an even bigger and more intentional impact on these organizations by helping them shift into a work environment where employees are invested in the work they do and empowered to give their best performances.  
    Crystal Clear Purposes is the cool older sibling who can get their younger sibling to open up in ways their parents can’t. She does so by coaching corporate teams, focusing closely on each individual to learn their strengths, goals, and roadblocks to offer them a personalized plan to move forward successfully and freely in their careers.

    KERITH RAE

    Kerith is the owner and founder of Tequila & Deadlifts. She is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, NASM Women’s Fitness Specialist, TRX Level 1 Certified and holds her NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialization.

Her passion is helping people find their own version of strength- whether it be mental or physical.

    TRACY HESS

    Tracy Hess is a physical therapist and certified intuitive eating counselor with years of experience supporting clients struggling with overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, and wight cycling.  As a former chronic dieter, Tracy intimately understand the frustration, anxiety, and sense of defeat that can accompany these challenges and is dedicated to guiding you towards a healthier relationship with food and your body.  She partners with clients to rebuild trust in their body, release the guilt, and embrace a life where food is a source of nourishment, satisfaction and joy.

    MEET OUR HOST!



    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.

    Katie’s vision was to grow RCVA by adding others like herself who wanted to find work/life balance between household responsibilities and career aspirations. The team quickly grew to 8 members, and in 2022 Katie's friend and trusted colleague Meagan joined the team to help support the growth of the business. Working virtually allows the team at RCVA to take care of house and home while keeping their skills relevant and contributing financially to their families.

    RCVA is dedicated to providing reliable, consistent, and intelligent assistance. Each assistant is college-educated and brings experience from diverse career backgrounds. RCVA is also committed to providing meaningful employment at a living wage to individuals within the USA.
