Hi and thanks for visiting!

Just a few words about why I offer virtual administrative services and what I bring to the table.

I’ve been a home-based small business owner for over ten years. As a consultant, author, and speaker, I’ve worn the many hats needed for working ON the business and IN the business at the same time.

• My organizational skills helped me create a disciplined approach to organizing my own business.
• As a business owner, I applied my writing skills to write a book, business documents, marketing materials, newsletters, and website content.
• My career as an IT professional and business systems analyst has allowed me to support my own IT needs.
• I’ve been through the process of reinventing my business during hard economic times.

I’ve come to understand that I truly enjoy the administrative tasks it takes to run a business.

A combination of my skills as a small business owner and my business and professional background allows me to provide a unique approach for my clients.

Regards,
