New To this Virtual Assistant community
Hi, This is Pam here. I'm very excited about being a new member of VAF.

Let me give you a little history of Borlok Virtual Assistants (Borlok VA).

My partner and I met in 1967 on a co-educational private boarding school (it was only located on a 40,000-acre ranch in Arizona). We knew right from the start that were destined to be friends.

We did all sorts of jobs while living on the ranch. You see, it was not only a school; but during the summer, it functioned as a summer camp. We did everything from secretarial functions including receptionist, switchboard operator, administrative assistant, nursing assistant, and much more.

It wasn't until 2006 that we both decided to go into business together as virtual assistants. With our rich past of experiences, including working at American Express and Motorola, we knew that we would be able to succeed.

What do we do now you might ask? I won't bore you with all the details. Let it suffice to say that we specialize in business transcription, article writing (including proofreading and editing), AR/AP, Basecamp project coordinating, Elance bid proposal edits and submissions, customer service, and so much more. If you get a chance, check out our blog and website.

Well, I feel like I've talked your ears off, so I'll sign off for now. I'm very glad to be part of such a big family. Have a great day!

Thanks Pam,

For the time being I'll be a forum watcher so I can learn the correct way to do it. Then I can start posting as I get time.

Pam! It's nice to have you here. You have a nicely diversified background, so don't "lurk" too long.

Hey, maybe put links to your website and blog in your signature?

I look forward to "seeing" you around here!

Welcome, Pam!

By the way, eliminate the word "boring" from your vocabulary.. we love learning about new members and additional info just makes it more personal!
