Alysia Vanderbilt's Bio

 
 

Vanderbilt Business Support is a sole proprietorship and I represent the owner and operator. "Virtual Assistance" is a relativly new business term, but in a nut shell, is simply an administrative assistant that operates from his/her own office located offsite for as many hours as predetermined through a work agreement. Any task that can be performed through means of a telephone, fax, or e-mail can be easily lifted from your shoulders.
