About Us

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself and my business, CG Office Solutions. Together we can take your company to the next level or simply relieve you of some of the burdensome office tasks that take you away from your clients or family.

In 1998 I graduated from the Office Administration program at Red Deer College. It was a referral from the program’s chairperson that got me my first and, just recently, my former job. I was employed with Firemaster Oilfield Services for eight years. In that time I worked my way from receptionist to office manager. I obtained widespread experience in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and ISO procedures. I was the resident IT person in our office as I did much of the trouble shooting, and was also the program development liaison. Over the eight years I became trusted as the proof reader and formatter of all major documents produced in the office. I thrive on working in a busy atmosphere and absolutely enjoy applying my knowledge in my work.

My education did not stop once I graduated with my Office Administration Diploma. I continued to take evening business courses to receive my Certificate in Management through Red Deer College. To receive that certificate I completed 1 accounting course, 1 computing course, Organizational Behavior, 1 economics course and 4 business options.

I also attended a P.A. Douglas & Associates Inc. Assistants Seminar and a Management Skills for Supervisors course; also through Red Deer College.

While completing these business course and seminars I finished the Virtual Assistant program; again through Red Deer College. These accredited courses were held virtually; that is held through chat rooms, teleconference, bulletin board postings and other virtual means. Class topics ranged from starting a virtual assistant business, marketing your virtual business and a 120 hour virtual practicum. These classes were instructed by established virtual assistants and several times our class would go on ‘field trips’ to talk to other established virtual assistants. One major thing learned in this program was that virtual assistants work together to promote the growing field and offer continuous support to each other.

As I continued to work full time, I worked hard at establishing my business so it was reputable and established when the time came for me to run it full time. It was my goal, and my husband’s goal, that I could stay at home as a full time mom when we started having kids. As of April 2006, I became a new stay at home mom. Being a virtual assistant has allowed me to stay at home full time, challenge me professionally and allow me to use my business knowledge and computer skills. My work as a Virtual Assistant has fit in perfectly with my new life style. I look forward to the challenges that await with running my own business.

When I am not taking courses or working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, playing with my dog (Shitzu Maltese), riding my street bike (SV650), riding my dirt bike (WR250), camping, crafts, watching movies and visiting with family and friends.
