Who is Kendra?

Kendra Harris, virtual assistant, online business manager, and master organizer, is standing with her husband and five children, on their Tennessee Farm in Pikeville, Tennessee.

Organization has always been part of who Kendra Harris is. Long before she became known as the Business Doctor of Organization, she was the person who could look at chaos, figure out what needed to happen next, and create a plan to get there. That ability has followed her through a life and career filled with roles that may look very different on paper but share a common thread: leadership, problem-solving, and service.

Kendra graduated cum laude from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education and a minor in Mathematics. She spent 15 years in education as a high school math teacher and coach, investing in students both inside and outside the classroom. Throughout her coaching career, she coached volleyball and softball, including coaching the 2018 TSSAA Class A State Runner-Up softball team. Teaching and coaching gave Kendra the opportunity to do something she still loves today: help people recognize what they are capable of, work toward something bigger, and celebrate their wins alongside them.

During those years, Kendra also served as a firefighter and rope rescue technician. The fire service added another dimension to her leadership experience and strengthened her ability to remain calm under pressure, assess situations quickly, solve problems, and step in wherever she was needed.

Eventually, Kendra began looking for a way to create more flexibility for her own family without giving up the sense of purpose she found in helping others. She founded Kendra Harris.Co and entered the online business world as a Virtual Assistant before transitioning into an Online Business Manager. What began as a search for better work-life balance became an entirely new career and another opportunity to use the leadership, organization, and problem-solving skills she had developed throughout her life.

Kendra’s roots are firmly planted in Tennessee. Raised living inside Fall Creek Falls State Park, she grew up surrounded by the mountains and natural beauty she still considers home. She is a lifelong Tennessee Volunteer, lifelong learner, master organizer and planner, and firm believer that the right structure creates more freedom for the people and experiences that matter most.

Today, Kendra and her husband are raising five children on their farm in the Tennessee mountains. Her love of family, travel, sports, and finding experiences worth remembering inspired her to create The 5th Quarter Family, a family travel and experience platform where she shares unique sports experiences, trips, affordable adventures, and memory-making ideas families may not even realize are out there. At the heart of it is a simple realization: the years with our kids go fast and making the most of them doesn't have to mean overspending or stressing over every detail.

When Kendra isn't organizing something, there is a pretty good chance she is planning something. You can find her traveling with her family, searching for their next adventure, spending time at home on the farm, or singing “Rocky Top” at the top of her lungs at a Tennessee football game. Across every chapter, from classrooms and ballfields to emergency services, entrepreneurship, and raising five kids, Kendra has built her life around helping people move from overwhelm to organized and creating space for what matters most.
