I am searching for a hybrid remote, Office Assistant (roughly 16 hours a week with the opportunity to increase), who can assist with tasks such as personal communications including but not limited to detailed notetaking, understanding/interpreting emails, developing email responses, assisting with any needed phone/video calls, and documents that I receive. This individual would also potentially assist with local volunteer opportunities that I take part in and/or potential local speaking events that I may present at.
