    I'm organized, have great attention to detail, and complete tasks accurately and on time. I've gained experience in high pressure teams at top professional services firms and am now looking for part time freelance work in recruiting, interview scheduling, candidate screening, data entry, administrative support, HR projects, personal/family scheduling or proofreading. Give me a clear to do list of tasks and I will fully manage all items independently with progress updates as needed and always meet or exceed the deadline.

    In 2020, like so many others, I made the bold decision to pivot my career toward a more fulfilling path. Abandoning the ambition to launch my own catering company, I chose to prioritize travel and home life, leading me to dive into the world of remote freelancing. Seeking to enhance my skills, I pursued an Internet Programming Certificate (with a stellar 4.0 GPA, I might add), while juggling a full-time job beyond the confines of a computer screen. Fast forward four years, and I've traversed diverse roles, from Project Manager to Operations Specialist to non-profit Tech Management, among others. Alongside these ventures, I co-founded a website maintenance and redesign company with a trusted colleague. My journey is a testament to my belief that if I can dream it, I can learn it, and ultimately, I can do it. My expertise encompasses various facets of business technology where I can provide valuable assistance. Below are lists of the software and processes I'm well-versed in, drawing from my extensive experience. While this list is comprehensive, it's worth noting that I'm constantly expanding my skill set. If something falls outside my current expertise, I am transparent to ensure neither your time nor mine is wasted. WEBSITE MAINTENANCE, REDESIGN, CONSULTING, AND SEO: - Maintenance: Hosting, updates, security, plugins, troubleshooting, DNS, email - Consulting: User experience, SEO, design, organization - SEO: Google programs, backlinking, keyword research and implementation, on-page SEO, ranking, technical issues - Hosting: Cpanel, GoDaddy, Hostgator, Dreamhost, Cloudflare - Platforms: Wordpress, WIX, Squarespace - Plugin development - Woocommerce setup and maintenance - Builders: Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, Avada - Gravity, WP, Ninja Forms - GoDaddy, CRM, and form integration - Slickplan, Figma - HTML, CSS, JS CRM: - Hubspot Admin: contacts, fields, workflows, email, chatbot, blog creation, admin settings, lists, import/export, reports, optimization - Hubspot Developer: website creation, integration with other apps - Salesforce Admin: contacts, fields, reports, settings - Salesforce Developer: integration with other apps - Zoho: Leads, projects, setup/admin, integration, contacts - Ontraport: Contacts, integrations, landing pages, emails - Donordock Admin PROJECT MANAGEMENT: - Asana and Asana custom systems setup for organizations - Basecamp and Basecamp setup - Slack - Trello - Pivotal Tracker - Zoho - Airtable - Evernote - Pastel ADMINISTRATION/OTHER: Preface: I spent the first few years in remote positions in various executive assistant roles. While I am currently overqualified for assistant roles, I am open to helping out with short-term projects if the budget makes sense. - Google Suite: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Analytics, Search Console, Ads, My Business, Forms, Meet, Admin, etc - ChatGPT - Zoom - Adobe Creative Cloud: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign (Intermediate proficiency) - Quickbooks - Eventbrite - Mailchimp - Calendly - OtterAI - LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Client communications - Copy editing - Newsletter management - MacOS help My work philosophy revolves around problem-solving, curiosity, and humor, shaping both my solutions and the positive atmosphere I cultivate. Open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement, I approach challenges with curiosity, compassion, and understanding. Upholding a "NO JERKS" policy, I prioritize respect in all interactions. For a comprehensive overview of my professional journey outside of Upwork, please refer to my LinkedIn profile. I look forward to bringing my values and expertise to your team to accomplish our dreams! Thanks for stopping by!
