Summer Wheatley
Founder & Executive Assistant
Hello
Hi, I’m Summer Wheatley, the founder of The Summer Associate. With over two decades of experience in the administrative field, I bring a wealth of expertise and a passion for helping businesses thrive through efficient operations. From my early days as a medical receptionist to my current role as an Executive Assistant for a non-profit, I've honed a diverse skill set that allows me to provide tailored virtual administrative support to clients in various industries.
In 2025, I founded The Summer Associate, a virtual admin service dedicated to supporting businesses with everything from email and calendar management to project coordination and marketing. With a focus on organization and attention to detail, I help my clients save time and streamline their operations so they can focus on what they do best.
When I’m not working, you can find me enjoying life in Southern Utah, where I’ve made my home after growing up in Texas. My goal is to provide exceptional support while building lasting relationships with my clients and their businesses.
Let’s work together to bring your vision to life!
