Virtual Assistant Profiles

Danielle Kubus is the founder of Wise Virtual Solutions in Tampa, FL specializing in social media marketing.  After being laid off from a small company without notice, Danielle decided she wanted to find a way to work at home while caring for her children.  She did lots of research on the VA industry and spent some time reading information posted on the Virtual Assistant Forums website, which provides many helpful resources for new and veteran VAs alike.  Once she was comfortable, she jumped right in!  She has found something she is passionate about and that will surely carry her a long way. I asked Danielle some questions about herself, her clients and her business and this is what she said.
