Throughout the years, I have gained over 14 years combined experience as a Legal/Executive Secretary, Paralegal, and Administrative Assistant/Office Manager combined with over eight years as Entertainment/Marketing Manager, Managing Editor, Assistant Editor, Staff, Guest Writer and Copyeditor for various newsletters, newspapers, and magazines.
I established my business in 1999, but continued to work full time until 2005, when I decided to transition to full time self-employment. As the economy started to turn downward, I decided to take on a part-time job so that I could still maintain my business, but now, I'm ready to go back to it full time again!
I enjoy sharing my personal experiences as a teen mom and single parent to motivate youth, teen, and other singles parents, encouraging them to overcome adversity by setting goals, completing their education, and being the best they can be with Christ. As a businesswoman, I mentor and educate others on topics such as “How to Establish and Grow Your Business”, “Finding Your Niche”, “Strategies for Marketing Your Business”, "Social Networking for Business", and many more.
I am married to my best friend and together we have seven beautiful children, five boys, and 2 girls, and two grandsons. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, playing piano, and singing.
Looking forward to meeting with other VAs here and supporting and encouraging one another in our endeavors!!
