Melinda methods
May 2020 - nowVirtual assistant/ownerAs the Virtual Assistant for small business and solo-professionals, I specialize in admin services like data entry, typing, research, and document formatting. Melinda Methods offers the Virtual Assistant services that can help most whether they have had their small business for a long time or are newer to the business owner circuit. It's about extending a virtual admin approach to a business that doesn't have the support functions within arms reach like there is in a corporate setting. In using the vast array of skillsets I've practiced in my long tenure in the corporate world, in the United States Air Force, and through professional organizations and volunteer opportunities, I am able to deliver the admin support to a broad base of small business and solo professionals.
