Who Am I?

I am a freelance virtual solutions specialist, which is a more sophisticated way of saying "virtual assistant." I offer a myriad varied services, many of which I try to accomplish from the comfort of my home, or from a local coffee shop, or while sitting on a blanket with my dog under a shade tree in Mission Bay Park. I am one of MANY who are determined to break free from the shackles of a 9-5 "job" where I am not only lining the pockets of other people while mine are hemorrhaging Benjamins, but also giving away 960 HOURS out of EVERY YEAR simply getting ready for and commuting to and from the workplace.

Unpaid.

Thus, I strive to find - or create - multiple streams of income that yield the highest return for the least amount of time invested.

So, what sets me apart from other freelancers?

I don't think of myself as "unique," per se. I admire all freelancers for their individual talents and their contributions to society. However, while many specialize in a smaller array of services, I open myself up to an unlimited number of requests - within my skillsets, of course.

What are my skillsets?

I accept many varied gig requests, which include (but are not limited to):

  • Administrative requests
  • Organizational assistance
  • Custom branding and design
  • Forms and presentation design
  • Bookkeeping and data entry
  • Social media management
  • Limited photography services
  • Video ad requests
  • Voiceover requests

My background is varied, though primarily rooted in marketing, office administration and management, and customer relations. I am a tenacious student, meaning I thrive on learning, and never stop seeking opportunities to add more skills to my competencies.

I draw motivation from being an asset because I can provide valuable support and insights, helping others achieve their goals while contributing to meaningful progress. It’s fulfilling to know that my skills make a difference and empower others to succeed.

Are you interested in working with me?

If so, connect with me via one of my social links or message me direct at iworkremote@outlook.com.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Warmest regards,

Tricia D. Carlisle

Why I’m Not Celebrating Thanksgiving in the Traditional Sense

Thanksgiving, as widely taught and celebrated in America, is a myth wrapped in feel-good lies. The narrative of harmonious meals shared between Pilgrims and Native Americans ignores the brutal reality of colonization. This holiday, as it’s traditionally framed, sanitizes the genocide, displacement, and cultural erasure inflicted upon Indigenous peoples by European settlers. The land we occupy was stolen. Treaties made with Native tribes were repeatedly broken, their sovereignty trampled upon. Entire nations were decimated through violence, disease, and forced assimilation. The so-called “First Thanksgiving” was not a celebration of unity but part of a broader history of exploitation and bloodshed. Even the eventual institutionalization of Thanksgiving as a national holiday came at a time when Native communities were being systematically stripped of their land and rights.  Celebrating Thanksgiving in its traditional sense feels like celebrating the theft, murder, and oppression...

The AI Paradox: Real Minds Under Scrutiny

How do you work, compete, and succeed in a tech world where the very systems we've created tell us that we - and our work - are not human enough? I’ve literally had my own writing flagged as AI-generated more than once. There’s nothing quite like pouring your heart and soul into something, laboring over every single word, and then being told by a machine, "This doesn’t feel human." A human-designed AI tool telling a human they’re not human enough. We use AI to "detect" AI as if the circle of irony couldn’t tighten any further. Humans create AI, and then AI turns around and questions whether we are capable of doing what we literally taught it to do. These tools are not magical truth-tellers. They rely on patterns, word choices, syntax, and tone. Write something too polished? AI. Use big words? Definitely AI. Add sarcasm and personality? Oops, still AI. Apparently, we’ve forgotten that humans can also write thoughtfully and with depth. So... writers have their wor...
