Owner/operator at The Task Wrangler
Tulsa, Oklahoma Area
After more than a decade of devoting her people-helping skills to the confines of one company, one department, one office at a time, Jean Bauhaus has decided that it's finally time to remove the boundaries and expand her availability to the far reaches of the Internet. She has worked in the corporate world, in various support roles, since 1997, all the while honing her skills in web design, blogging and desktop publishing, and refining her craft as a writer of both non-fiction and prose. She has also decided that the time has come to parlay years of experience copy editing and proofreading papers, articles, short stories and novels for friends and colleagues into a workable profession, having recently completed formal copy editor training at Mediabistro.
She lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma with her husband Matt and their three pets. When she's not working for clients, she's usually working on her novel, unless she's knitting tiny, adorable things for her plethora of tiny, adorable nieces and nephews. She is also available to knit on commission.

(Online Media industry)
April 2009 — Present (8 months)
The rise of Web 2.0 has brought with it an increase in opportunities for professionals to conduct and promote their businesses online, allowing them to take advantage of social networks and new media both to provide services and entertainment and to market their products and their personal brand. Recent years have especially given rise to creative content producers--i.e., bloggers, podcasters and writers of both fiction and non-fiction who use the Web to both provide and promote their content in ways heretofore unheard of. This has also created a new conflict faced by creators: finding a balance between time spent creating content and time spent networking and marketing said content.
This is where TheTaskWrangler.com steps in. The business name for Jean Bauhaus, a longtime blogger, writer, copy editor and web designer with nearly ten years of experience in various support roles ranging from secretary to project administrator, TheTaskWrangler.com hopes to fill this growing niche by providing virtual assistance to these online professionals who would rather spend their time creating.
A rising online profession in and of itself, a Virtual Assistant provides secretarial, administrative and other support services over the Internet for a fraction of what it would cost to hire an assistant to come to your workplace and perform the same type of work. In addition to more traditional services such as typing, data entry, scheduling and desktop publishing, TheTaskWrangler.com also offers services targeted at New Media, including copy writing/editing and proofreading, web design and site management, blogging, Twittering and Social Network Profile management, In-box management, and more.
