About Jackie

I was born in South-End-On-Sea in England and came to Canada when I was three-years-old. Growing up in subdivisions, there was always something inside of me that longed for the country. I've always had a huge love for animals and they have become a big part of my life. Having had many pets growing up, I still have continued that in my adult life and could never imagine not having them around. I also volunteer when I can with different animal organizations and have made many friends in animal rescue.

Other than a few odd jobs here and there, I've always worked in public oriented business offices in different roles. Two of my favorite jobs were secretary for two deputy directors in Corrections and then working for two fabulous managers at Worker's Compensation Board on a contract basis for two terms. When you work for wonderful people who you respect and enjoy, people who are appreciative of the work you do, you tend to work harder and will do anything to support those people and their business. I also know what it is like to work for companies that have horrible work environments and this is what led me to branch out on my own.

Having over 18 years of typing, word processing and dicta-phone transcription experience, I was so excited to learn about all this new technology which has now brought us digital audio files and the ability to live and work from anywhere. I started out by subcontracting through other transcription companies to gain some experience (which I will always be learning as technology changes), and it was not long before I realized that this was something I really enjoyed and loved the benefits of working from home.

This was the best thing that ever happened to me! Being a private contractor really suits my personality as I have control over the type of work I do, the companies I work with and I am able to follow my desire of making excellent working relationships for both parties. Because of my strong work ethic, my clients never have to worry if their projects will be returned on time as I will always be committed to each assignment and work the necessary hours and days to ensure they are completed on time. I will never take on more than I can handle.

It wasn't long after I started my transcription business that I realized this was the direction I wanted to go. I sold my house and moved to a rural area in the South Cariboo region of beautiful British Columbia with my critters in tow. I truly enjoy what I'm doing and I'm extremely happy about being able to work from home and live the life I've always dreamed of. With this kind of motivation behind me to keep this business going, you can be assured that I will provide the best quality of work possible to secure long lasting working relationships with my clients.
