Who I Am...
 Let me introduce myself - I am Claudia Davis and I own and manage Virtually Yours...at the
Lake.
In my first chosen profession, I worked in the telephone industry for 32 years; most of
which was spent in the suburbs of Washington DC, and the last 9 years spent in Richmond, VA. That career probably contributed to two of my great assets organization and multi-tasking; as I managed many projects in my last 10 years with Verizon, formerly Bell Atlantic. Being dedicated to one company for so long, I developed skills in teamwork, management, organization, leadership, and supervision, just to name a few. Most importantly, I took
advantage of Verizon's tuition assistance program, and in 2001 obtained Associate degrees in computer programming and computer technical support.
My husband and I bought property in Lake Gaston, VA in 2000, and built what we classified as a "Vacation Home" in 2002. We spent 90% of our weekends at the Lake and set a goal to retire there in 2008. Then in 2003 something unexpected happened - Verizon offered an early retirement package and I jumped at it at the age of 50.
We juggled some finances and my husband was able to advance his retirement as well, and we changed that "Vacation Home" to our "Retirement Home" in June 2006.
After retirement, I spent 3 months at home contemplating what I wanted to do with my free time. I began researching the possibilities of starting my own business. I knew what I wanted to do, but found it hard to start a business in Richmond, VA when my plans were to move to Lake Gaston. So, I took a part time job with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as
an Administrative Assistant. I gained two more years of experience working for a wonderful non-profit organization, and learned that small business is in a completely different world than corporate business.
That brings me to the present - and now I would like the opportunity to work with you.
It is my mission to meet a broad range of administrative needs of small business owners
providing the highest quality, at a reasonable cost. |
