07.2022 - Current

In July 2022, I received a late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, coinciding with the loss of my previous job. I decided to take some time away from work to adapt to this new chapter in my life and reassess my needs in a professional environment.


After about six months, I began searching for a new job but faced challenges in finding the right fit. During this period, I proactively taught myself graphic design, social media management, and video content editing using tools like Movavi and Cyberlink. Additionally, I learned to stream on Twitch, which has provided me with valuable experience in marketing, advertising, and networking. In 2023 and 2024, I successfully raised $400 and $500 respectively, for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through charity streams on Twitch using Tiltify. With current charity for St. Jude running 2025. I also run a small, but active Discord server which hosts events. Currently, I am still streaming and running my Discord server, but I have also published a book of poetry. I have started to engage more with AI out of curiosity and found it a great place to organize my thoughts and generate ideas when I am writing and feel stuck. I am simply looking for a chance to get back in to a part-time working position.
