FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After working onsite in a variety of industries, I decided to start a family. After having children, I decided that I wanted to be available when they needed me and in order to do this, I had to change career paths. I began working from home at that point. I desired to have the freedom of working from home while achieving long-term business success. I found out Virtual Assistance was the right field for me to enter in order to obtain this. After years of experience in administration, support, marketing, customer service, writing, etc., I felt comfortable helping my clients in my VA business in these area's. It provided me the opportunity to provide the same service, yet greater quality and at a more cost effective rate---all from home!
