Hi, my name is Mary O'Neal and I am a VA wannabe. I live in Northtern Virginia in The Washington (DC) Metro Area. My experience includes office management, admin support, real estate, project management, event planning, writing/editing, and airline travel. The name I've chosen for this new venture is "Redeeming Time Virtual Solutions." Any suggestions/advice is greatly welcome. Thank you.
