Gabriela Bell has been part of the military community since birth. She gave up her career in order to support her active duty spouse, staying home to care for her four children. It was a year ago when Bell decided to turn her at-home job into a business.

“Military Spouses are a group of individuals who have an exceptionally high rate of unemployment and underemployment, yet have needs for flexibility and portability within their own work environment,” Bell told Technical.lyin an interview coinciding with Military Spouse Appreciation Day. “As my family has begun transitioning away from active duty military service, it has been important for me to reevaluate what I want to do professionally and ensure that my choices satisfy my desires to be professionally successful in my own right.”

Last year, Bell founded Organized Q, a virtual executive assistant service. She was eager to expand what she had done at home working as a virtual executive assistant into a professional service firm for small businesses and executives, regardless of location. She was recently inducted into WeWork’sVeterans in Residence program, an initiative that provides space, services, business mentorship and community to help veterans and military family members starting a business. Though her business can be ran from home, she now has an office at WeWork Universal North to collaborate with other veteran business owners and entrepreneurs.
