I've always been drawn to creative artistic things however haven't done anything like this in a job until I started my own online business in 2020. I have a blog, a book, and an Etsy shop. I share information about holistic wellness as well as create and sell printable PDF's like workbook pages, planner pages, journal pages, and checklists to help people live healthy lifestyles. I've always enjoyed writing (with pen/paper and typing on a typewriter or computer) my entire life. I love collecting, organizing, and sharing information in a creative visual/written way. I love working behind the scenes, by myself. My passions in life are holistic health, music, travel, poetry, and nature. If there was ever a way to combine all 5 of these in one job, it would be truly made for me! I am truly alive when I am at a music festival dancing outside in nature. I go to about 4 or 5 music festivals a year, and ideally I would have a job that would allow me to take a week off at a time for these events. I also greatly enjoy camping. To me, it's important to take breaks in nature on a regular basis for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It's crucial that I am able to have a job that allows for this work/life balance.
Ideal Workplace Values
The biggest thing I'd be looking for in a workplace would be a place that understood my needs, and were flexible with time off (good work/life balance)

💪Skills and Strengths
My Neuro-exceptional talent
I am great at being creative, and thinking/planning, I'm also a perfectionist so anything I do would be well-thought out before completion. If it's a subject I am heavily interested in, I can go above and beyond my normal duties, possibly wanting to be more involved than I am required to be.

I thrive best in darker, quieter environments. I prefer a mix of sitting and standing, and a variety of tasks if I must work a full 8 hour shift. If I am allowed to work flexible hours (such as 1-4 hours at a time) then I am ok with just one task. No phones or customer interaction, but ok with co-workers as long as I have my own space, possibly a cubicle or separate room or just more space in general.
