Hello everyone! : )

On the advice of BWell Business Services, I have literally joined the Virtual Assistant Forums a few hours ago, in hopes of becoming a Virtual Assistant.

I have been an administrative assistant / legal secretary contract worker for nearly 10 years. My background in legal consists of Plaintiff Personal Injury and Defense Litigation. Having worked with various staffing agencies throughout the years, and provided my services to several venues, I feel that it now time to go into business for myself and offer my services directly.

I have browsed the different links provided within the web site and am very impressed with everyone's support of each other. : ) I look forward to offering my support and sharing any information / advice that I can, through my own experiences, as necessitates. I am sure I will have quite a few questions of my own and would greatly appreciate any and all support / information / advice that can be provided.

Having reviewed everything, I will be taking a more serious look at what services I can offer, in order to get my own business up and running.

Thank you and I am glad to be part of the Virtual Assistant Forums team!
