• Strong organizational and administrative skills.
• Clear written communication and attention to detail.
• Comfort with digital tools such as Google Workspace, shared drives, and project trackers.
• Ability to manage multiple small tasks and maintain orderly systems.
• Reliability, discretion, and a collaborative mindset.
• Experience in nonprofit operations, project management, or administration is helpful but not required.
