My Value
In July 2016 I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. This is something which I have learned not to be ashamed of but rather, proud of. Though this means I have difficulties with certain things, including job interviews, I know what I can do and where my strengths lie. This is my ability to use my written and social media skills to create compelling and effective content and connect with audiences.
