I primarily do consulting and personal assistant work; helping individuals and companies get organized and make progress within their businesses and/or personal lives.
I am a 31 year old female with extensive experience in administrative work, including management, professional writing, research (both qualitative and quantitative), organizational services, business start-up and office management assistance, and consulting. I graduated from Mills College in Oakland, CA in 2011 with a BA in Ethnic Studies with a focus in Research and Social Welfare. I have 7+ years in community organizing, administrative work, and case management, 6+ years in retail, sales and customer service, 4+ years in management and consulting, 5+ years in education and tutoring (mostly English), 5+ years in professional, academic and policy writing, and 3+ years in counseling. Professional writing includes, but is not limited to, policy, legal contracts, MOU's and RFP's, business plans, research findings, and essay and document formatting and editing, including HR related documents. I have a great passion for helping others, and working within the diverse community of the Bay Area, as you may see from my Resume. I also have extensive experience, 7+ years, working with low-income individuals and families, which includes both adults and children with various forms of trauma, mental health conditions, and disabilities. I am extremely dedicated to all of the projects I take on; I am diligent and have great attention to detail. I am an expert in the art of multi-tasking, scheduling and organizing, as I have been responsible for creating and maintaining my own work schedule for the past six years; I also have the ability to telecommute.
I plan on going to graduate school part-time within the next year to obtain either a Master's in Social Work or a Master's in Public Policy; possibly both. Additionally, I am currently the Executive Assistant for my church. I enjoy cooking, writing poetry, making jewelry, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. I am very passionate about human rights and social justice issues, and I enjoy giving back!
Work Terms
My schedule is currently flexible, as I make my own schedule and choose the jobs I would like to take on. I am open to a full-time and/or long-term position, if it is a good fit. My salary requirements are determined per job and are based on the type of position, amount of travel, and commensurate with my experience; as a Consultant my salary ranges anywhere from $20-$50/hour, and I also accept price per job vs. price per hour. I am willing to negotiate salary when discussing specifics with potential employers. My preferred method of communication is text or email. I request that first-time meetings and/or interviews be conducted in a public place or business location, if possible.
