Hello All!

My name is Farah and I'm a VA who's been working from home for three years... I worked as a virtual agent for several online call centers for about a year and a half and then I contracted with a virtua temp agency, where I met my first (and most loyal) client. He bought out my contract and I've been working excusively for him for two years.

I am looking to expand my cient base, and perhaps start a VA blog where I can share stories and resources in my local area. I am also considering starting my own Virtual Agency, and it's where I'm leaning towards, but the focus will be on helping other VA's find work independantly or finding good matches for them, only in a very honest, straight-forward and ethical way.

I've had bad experiences with one particular VA agency and I am willing to share my stories hear to help otherss and empower them.

I'm so glad I found you, and I look forward to getting to know you all!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
