What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a flexible remote job opportunity that is focused on customer service, researching, data entry, conservation, or chat support. I am also open to any opportunity that is relevant.

I have a diverse background as I have experience with wildlife and fisheries conservation, customer service, landscaping, and connecting with and mentoring young adults and children. I also have hands on experience with Microsoft word, excel, Google docs, slides, and spreadsheets.
