My Dreams

What am I aiming for? What do I want?

I want a job that makes me happy and fulfilled, and make enough money to support myself and all my projects. Right now that means I’m looking for a position in Housing, Science Communication, or Animal Care. For the short- and mid-term, I want to develop my skills and interests. For my long term career, I’d like something administrative; I like staying organized and color-coded, so I think I would do well at an office job. I like working with people, and also would prefer to work with a team, or even lead one. I can work by myself as well, though I get plenty of alone time with all my personal projects!

Ultimately though, I want to be happy and secure, and stable enough to support others. I want to make the world a better place, a more beautiful, fun, and comfortable world for everyone I can reach.
