Virtual Assistant Needed to Help Find Data Analysis, Tableau, Excel, and Technical Writing Work

Hi! I am looking for a reliable, organized Virtual Assistant to help me find work quickly in data analysis and related fields.

I have an MIS degree and experience with data analysis, Tableau, Excel, dashboards, business intelligence, tutoring, and explaining technical topics clearly. I am open to many types of work, including data analysis jobs, freelance projects, contract roles, dashboard/reporting work, Excel cleanup, Tableau work, analytics support, technical writing, documentation, training material creation, and tutoring if good opportunities appear.

Tutoring has become more competitive recently because of AI, so I do not want to focus only on tutoring. I want help finding any realistic paid opportunity connected to data analysis, reporting, analytics, dashboards, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, SQL, or technical communication.

I work with ADHD and chronic pain, so I need someone who is patient, organized, proactive, and able to help keep things moving. I need help reducing overwhelm, tracking opportunities, and staying consistent with applications and follow-ups.

You do not need to be a data analyst yourself, but you should be good at online research, job searching, organizing leads, writing clear messages, and following instructions.
