participle clause

Hello,
Please help me with this sentence: Being assigned several different kinds of tasks, Celia has to multitask to survive. I wonder if it's better to delete the word "being". Thank you so much!

You could drop "being" with no change in meaning. It wouldn't be better -- just another slightly different way of saying the same thing.
