Introduction: Many virtual assistants become VAs because they were looking for a job they could do from home. I became a virtual assistant because it truly allows me to focus on my strengths and do what I love.
I have a degree in PR, and upon entering the world of PR I learned what I was good at and what I enjoyed most. That was creating quality online content through websites, copy writing, graphics, and social networking. So I took those strengths and created a business out of them.
I also began working as a VA before I even knew it had a name. Having taught myself HTML back in 1997 while in college, I started gaining projects and clients here and there and working on projects from home in my free time. I then developed this work and honed it over time to the business it is today.
Having a lot of variety! I'm a renaissance personality, which means I have a lot of different interest and I like to switch between them. I love working on many different projects throughout the day.
