Organize physical spaces, files, and digital to-do lists
Occasional support with events, guests, or projects

You Are:
Exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail
Industrious, proactive, and solution-oriented — nothing is beneath you
Calm under pressure and able to juggle multiple moving parts
Comfortable communicating with all types of people — vendors, teams, or creatives
Discreet, reliable, and trustworthy with sensitive information
Enjoy helping others
Tech-savvy: basic Google Drive, notes, and task management apps
