Katie Baird’s Summary

13 years as owner of Loose Ends, a Virtual Assistance company in Prescott Arizona. The type of work I do is also referred to as "Remote Professional."

What that really means is that I provide offsite support services to my clients, who are scattered throughout the United States.

My current goal is to break into a new niche: I would like to provide similar support services to Minor League Baseball affiliates.

I really enjoy meeting with Virtual Assistants throughout the U.S., and building a strong referral network in that way. I also love helping those new to the VA/Remote Professional professions, via in-person meetings and through my blog, Loosely Speaking, where there are many resources for VAs and other entrepreneurs.

Katie Baird’s Specialties:

Most of my work falls into one of three categories: web development (in particular a LOT of web site maintenance and blog support), graphic design, photography, and project management for small to medium businesses.

I provide support services in other areas as well for my clients. The longer I work with them, the more areas for collaboration we discover.
