I started my practice in January of 1998 because of desire to own my own business again and my love of being an assistant.
The desire to have my own business is evident from the list of businesses that I have successfully owned and operated:
AVON Sales Representative
Wedding Cake Decorator
Residential Cleaning Service
Wall Paper Hanging and Painting
Virtual Assistant
Many of the above ventures were done part-time around my growing family's schedule. After the children were all in school, it became necessary that I acquire full-time employment so I chose the field of Administrative Assistance.
I found my self working for a major health insurance company in the sales/ marketing department as their Administrative Assistant, a position which I held from September 1993 until April 2001.
In that time I was able to become very familiar with computers, the internet and any and all software programs our department used to enhance our sales team and their productivity.
With my experience as an business owner, as an assistant in the corporate world, and training from AssistU, I knew that Virtual Assistance was my dream work!
My mission is to provide quality assistance to my clients and help them achieve the work/life balance they need.
