Rebecca started her administrative career at nineteen, while working on dual degrees at her local college. She tried her hand in a number of industries, hoping to find a passion she could call her own. Her skills quickly grew from basic office administration to include business writing, web design, database management, and more. With a knack for training colleagues and building solid rapport with clientele, her corporate career moved along nicely. Unfortunately the daily grind of office politics, petty co-workers, long commutes, and pricy business suits got old--fast.

Late in 1998, Rebecca was given a tip on a virtual assistance training program from a co-worker. Her ticket out of dead-end jobs in hand, she signed up immediately. This was her calling. Rebecca met the millennium head on by launching her official career as a professional Virtual Assistant on January 1, 2000.

While building a solid client base, Rebecca spent much of her time researching ways to network and market herself virtually. Her research amounted to a wealth of resources. In the spring of 2001, Rebecca put it all together and founded the first web site to monitor andreport on the virtual assistance industry at work-the-web.com. work-the-web has since evolved into VirtualDynamos.org, an eCommunity dedicated to empowering Virtual Teams.

Rebecca has enjoyed tremendous success as a Virtual Assistant, carving a creative niche for herself by primarily assisting authors, speakers, and coaches. She credits her success to strong communication skills upon which she was able to build long-term relationships with her clients.

In 2004 Rebecca re-branded her company as Virtual Dynamos. The brand has proven to be tremendously successful. So successful that she took her business to another level in 2007 and started a virtual outsourcing company, which is still in operation. With a dynamite team to handle the client workloads, Rebecca has been able to return her focus to her passion of empowering Virtual Teams through her coaching programs and the development of the Virtual Dynamos community.

On a personal note, though Rebecca still considers Nova Scotia to be home, she lives on the Eastern seaboard of Massachusetts with family. In her spare time she enjoys writing, reading, Budukon, and hiking. She currently has several personal writing projects in the works.
