About Me
I was born in South Africa in 1963 in Krugersdorp, Roodepoort.
I obtained a Diploma as a National Legal Secretary in 1982 from Witwatersrand Technikon whereafter I immediately commenced employment at Edward, Nathan & Friedland Incorporated where I worked as a secretary in High and Magistrate’s court matters.
From there, my career has grown vastly in the legal fields in which I have worked as a legal secretary and I have made myself a valuable asset to various law firms within South Africa.
From 2013 onwards with my emigration to the UK, I started the VLS project with the desire to provide law firms in the UK and South Africa with secretarial expertise across various parts of the legal field. Since starting the VLS project, I’ve attended to dictaphone typing of legal and university transcripts and since 2018 I moved onto mostly preparation, formatting and proofreading agreements and court documents.
