• High school diploma or GED required; associate or bachelor’s degree preferred.
• Reliable high‑speed internet (minimum 25 Mbps download / 15 Mbps upload) and a distraction‑free home office setup.
• Excellent verbal communication skills, with a focus on clarity, empathy, and persuasive storytelling.

Preferred Qualifications & Additional Skills
