I come from a printing, direct mail marketing and former owner of Trenee, Inc. (offering office services to small businesses) background. Trenee, Inc offered payroll, data entry, filing, mail merge, and Quickbooks services. The only problem with the offline services, you have to drive from client to client and that didn’t work well with 2 small children at home. So I decided to take my work online and see what I can do.
The Social Networking world is important to online businesses and I felt that I could bring value to other companies by offering social networking services to those small companies that don’t have the time or manpower to keep up with social networking.
There are numerous Virtual Assistants in cyberspace, but I will bring you the best in social networking because that is my focus. That is where my time, research and learning is spent.
I am a WAHM to two wonderful little boys. Running a household, with 2 boys, 2 cats, 1 bird and 1 husband has improved my diligence, strength, organization and determination.
