Simple Graphic Design – we don’t need a photoshop expert but someone that has an eye for what looks good and can follow directions to create social media, blog, and website graphics using Photoshop, Canva or a similar program.

Writing – This includes general editing and writing. Many times I will write a newsletter, blog or other article and need it edited. Sometimes I may ask you for ideas to write about as well. Having a prompt can often help get the creative juices flowing!

Travel Arrangements – This includes booking flights, and hotel reservations. You will make sure I have a printed copy of the travel itinerary. To make these arrangements, you will have access to my business credit card or financial information.

Administrative Tasks – You will help with administrative tasks, such as creating documents and PowerPoint presentations, editing slides, assisting with bookkeeping, organizing and managing files or performing Internet research. Minor video editing may be needed at times and we can discuss this further.
