I am the mother of 2 teenage boys, married to a wonderful man, Mark Oden (our VP) and live in NC. I came across the opportunity to be a Virtual Assistant in 2007 and continue to love being a VA. In 2011 I was blessed with an amazing opportunity to help many RE Investors and put many Americans to work. I love what I do and that I have been blessed with an opportunity to help others succeed.

I have worked for Virtual Office VA Staffing since November of 2011.. There is never a dull or boring moment with this job, as it is always changing! That is just one of the many reason I love what I do, it keeps me on my toes! Aside from having the luxury of working from home, Virtual Office Staffing has given me the opportunity to develop as a person on many levels. Aside from work, I am a full time college student, as well as mother of two boys.

I live on a small ranch raising beef cattle, with my husband William (of 19 years), and two teenagers, John (17) & Faith (13) in a small town called Daingerfield, Texas. I love to cook and experiment with my foods. Professionally, I have not worked from my home office in the virtual environment like this before. I have however worked in the real estate world for almost 2 decades. I believe in being fair and believe we truly can only exist if we think of others as we think of ourselves.

I'm originally from South Korea but consider myself a Southern California native having been raised in San Diego. Living in San Diego, I love going to the beach and spending as much time outside as I can. I studied Human Development at California State University, San Marcos and also have a professional background in administrative assisting and customer service. When I'm not working I'm spending time with my 2-year-old son, Riley. I'm truly blessed to have a job that allows me to do something I enjoy and have quality time with my family as well!

My name is Brian Ryals, and I have been with Virtual Office Va since April of 2012. I first came to the company as part time, but enjoyed the work so I decided to take it on as a full time job. I strove to do my best with the help of my mentor, Tara, and became a SVR in January of 2013. I enjoy working with my fellow VA's, and my main goal is to ensure that all clients are satisfied and successful! A big part of my job is to keep in contact with Va's on my team, and their clients as well. To ensure that I can respond quickly to everyone's needs, I am always available via phone or email should I need to be contacted. I have gained quite a bit of experience from working here, and continue to gain more everyday.
