Summary
I'm a multi-skilled person seeking more meaningful work. I’ve explored various jobs and careers, but none have truly brought me fulfillment. Through my current role, I was introduced to a 30-year-old woman with autism. She reached out to see if we could hang out outside of work, and I’ve found great joy in spending time with her and taking her on adventures. The happiness we share when we see each other has made me reflect on how many adults with mental or physical disabilities are overlooked once they transition out of childhood. I want to be someone who helps ensure their lives remain fulfilling and full of joy.
