About Us
Hello, I am Karen Salter, the owner and CEO of Salter Virtual Assistants and VAcertified. I started Salter Virtual Assistants in 2007. My experience includes over twenty years as an administrative assistant and bookkeeper. While I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, my job skills have been learned on the job or through continuing education at community colleges or Internet courses. I am a life-long learner and take great delight in learning new technologies and skills. I’ve been called a computer geek by some but my clients say I can take the “geek-eze” out of an explanation!
I transitioned from a solo practice to a multi-VA model in 2008. I wanted to offer my clients a full range of services and become their “one stop shop” for all their administrative needs. My team consists of highly skilled, professional associates with a variety of skills. I choose each team member carefully to insure all associates have the same high quality work ethic, integrity and professionalism. While we do not limit ourselves to one niche, our primary clients are Coaches, Authors and Speakers.
In 2008, I was proud to receive the VAccolade Business Entrepreneur Award and the Blog of The Week Award from VAnetworking. I have also been featured on Careers from the Kitchen Table Talk Radio.
My team includes specialist in all areas we service ranging from virtual assistants , graphic designers, web designers and certified social media marketing experts. Our goal is to be your “one stop shop” for all your support needs. I like to say, “The only thing we don’t do is make your coffee!
