Jessica's Bio + Street Cred
After high school I fell into administrative work, and I LOVED it. I never ended up wanting anything else because I loved working with computers, getting the business organized and finding ways to learn new skills. I eventually ended up going to college for a while and doing other trainings but I always wanted to go back into administrative work.
I love to organize (and color code), use automations to make things more efficient, learn new technologies and programs, plus I am a life long student. Finding out that a Virtual Assistant was an industry was a blessing and a very easy transition with my skill set.
