About the Position

I am seeking a compassionate, dependable, organized, and trustworthy Personal Assistant to help me complete my inspirational book about overcoming a life-changing stroke and assist with growing my online stroke recovery platform. This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference while helping bring an important story and mission to life.

In 2012, I survived a hemorrhagic brainstem stroke. As a result, I have photophobia, which makes it difficult to look at bright computer screens, and mild dysarthria, which causes slight speech difficulties. Your primary role will be to type accurately as I dictate my book and assist with a variety of personal, household, and media-related tasks.

Primary Responsibilities:

● Type and organize my dictated book manuscript.

● Keep book chapters and notes organized.

● Assist with deleting emails, documents, and basic computer tasks.

● Help operate a phone or camera for my weekly online platform sessions.

● Use Adobe Premiere, CapCut, or similar video editing software to help put together recordings for my platform.

● Organize and prepare recorded content for sharing.

● Email completed recordings to designated individuals as needed.

● Accompany me to locations such as Celebration Hospital to see record therapy sessions or related content when needed. Also accompany me to my Book Editor for sessions.

● Ride with me on Access Lynx transportation when applicable (you do not need to use your own vehicle for these trips).

● Drive me to medical appointments and other approved destinations when needed (mileage reimbursed at $0.50 per mile).

● Assist with occasional errands.

Light Housekeeping During Downtime

When book-related work is caught up, assist with light housekeeping, including:

● Dusting

● Sweeping and mopping floors

● Cleaning kitchen counters

● Cleaning bathrooms

● Emptying trash

Preferred Qualifications

● Strong English grammar and spelling.

● Patient, dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy.

● Comfortable working with someone who has a disability.

● Good organizational skills.

● Basic computer knowledge, including Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

● Comfortable using a smartphone or camera for recording video content.

● Familiarity with MoviePlus or similar video editing software is required.

● Ability to organize and email video recordings efficiently.

● Basic familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Claude or any AI program

● Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and proof of insurance (preferred but not always required due to Access Lynx availability).

● Ability to maintain strict confidentiality regarding my personal information and book.

Ideal Candidate

I’m looking for someone who is more than just an employee. I want someone who is trustworthy, encouraging, dependable, and genuinely interested in helping me accomplish an important life goal and grow a meaningful stroke recovery platform. This role has the potential to grow into something more as the platform and business expand.
