I’m Emma Ferrick (now Snyder), the ELF behind this operations consulting firm!
Control. Freedom. Flexibility.
These are the reasons many of us embark on the entrepreneurial journey. Like countless other mompreneurs, I started ELF Operations as a VA side hustle to regain financial control and carve out the time freedom I desperately needed as a new single mother. After leaving an abusive relationship at just 22, I was in survival mode—determined to give my baby everything she needed and to be present for all the precious moments.
Before helping clients find their own freedom and flexibility, I honed my skills in Operations Management, where I scheduled and planned resources for multi-million-dollar projects. From the start, I built my business on a foundation of automation and efficiency, allowing me to juggle a full-time job, run ELF Operations, be a full-time mom, and focus on healing.
Now, I’m passionate about helping women not just survive but THRIVE in lives they love through our Thrive Over Survive Motto:
🌟 Get as many women out of survival mode as we can. This means we strive to add value and support in every interaction—whether it be through collaborations, trainings, employment, mentorship, resources, or working with our clients. We want to help you simplify your life so you can enjoy the little things, like making pancakes on a Friday morning with your kids, because you can! This is what we call THRIVER mode, living a life you love.
We come alongside you as trusted partners to help you grow a business that fits your lifestyle, goals, and vision. Whether that means running an international remote company or managing your business two days a week so you can be the present PTO mom you aspire to be while still making an impact—we’re here to support you.
Our goal is to execute and elevate the vision you have for your business so you can be the CEO you were meant to be. We do this through STRATEGY, SYSTEMS, and SUPPORT (your team).
Let’s work together to create a business that aligns with your dreams and gives you the freedom, flexibility, and control you deserve.
