I'm a programmer and diversity advocate, which means I write, speak, and travel a lot. Much of my work is communicating with businesses/startups, conferences, and individuals about ways to help them increase inclusivity and diversity.
I receive a lot of email and I imagine that is where you can be the greatest amount of help to me. This is my first time looking to hire a PA, so I would appreciate your help in learning to delegate and work with you on what you're best at.
