I work two days a week as a Unit Secretary for a private hospital about 30 minutes away from where I live. I have been in the medical/administration field for over 10 years now. I started in 1996 as a Support Associate and worked my way up. I also worked in an Attorney's office as a secretary. I volunteer as an EMT for our local ambulance here in my town, which I enjoy very much. I am involved in a promising relationship with a wonderful man who is a Paramedic by trade as well as part of the ambulance I volunteer for. I joined this site because for years I have tried to get involved in starting my own Virtual Assistance Business, though It never seam to work out too well. I feel that was because I never had the right resources to learn how to get started. So this is why I am here today. Thank You for allowing me to be part of a wonderful group of Virtual Assistants! Kirsten

You have found a great resource here at VAF. I, too, am just starting and in the planning stage. It sounds like from your work experience that you might have your niche? doctors or lawyers possibly? Good Luck! Jamie
