What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
I love the flexibility of being self-employed. What I do gives me an opportunity to meet people and keep up with what's going on in my community. It allows me to be nosy and find out how things work.
Talking to people, finding out about them, and writing about it are all things I enjoy. This isn't something everyone would enjoy, as I do spend a lot of time by myself.
I consider myself an introvert, though I can be extroverted at certain times. I don't mind staying home, so it works for me.
