About Me

Hey! Glad you stopped by.

I’m an INFP manifesting generator. And if you’re unsure what either of those are: imagine you put on rose-colored glasses, got lots of ideas because of how pretty everything was, and then went out to act on those ideas. That’s me in a nutshell.

I find this world to be very beautiful, and I like to experience it. Sometimes that means I’m creating vector graphics, exploring K-Pop songs, or travelling…anywhere and everywhere. Other times, it means I’m researching ideas, testing them out, and writing about them. And then sometimes my imagination kicks into overdrive, and I end up combining ideas from all of the above into fantasy writing.

And for those who like the details and credentials?

I hold two bachelor degrees – one in the arts, and one in the sciences (Psychology). That second degree fostered my love for research; I even had the chance to participate in a small lab-based pilot project. But while being part of that process was super cool, the writing and thinking about stuff was more of a passion for me. I love connecting ideas, and editing, and proofreading, and grading.

Everything non-academic that I do…is self-taught through YouTube tutorials, some experts on social media, and trial and error. Included in that “everything else” is my passion for fitness/wellness/herbal teas. My adventures in that area began over a decade ago when I first learned about Traditional Chinese Medicine. Along the way, I became obsessed with vitamins, herbal teas, anti-inflammatory lifestyle choices, and running/injury prevention. I’ve lost (and gained and lost) over 60lbs and learned a lot about my body thanks to those things.

Services

Note Regarding Services:

  • I am new to freelancing. It’s something I’ve been researching and trying to break into for years, but the competition was difficult to wade through (INFP’s don’t do well in crowded spaces, even online).
  • As a result, my fees are flexible. Please contact me if you’re interested in working with me so that we can figure out the best investment fee for you!
  • Despite the low fees, I work hard. Maybe it’s from years of working in hotels, or maybe it’s that cleaning job….or, okay, okay, just my own perfectionism. But I will deliver the best service I can.
  • Communication is key. I like to be clear about expectations and instructions. If there is something I’m unsure about, I will ask you for clarification!
  • I am self-taught. I learned how to edit and proofread during my bachelor degrees as well as a year of transcription experience. Later, I refined those skills for creative writing as I worked on self-publishing my own novels. Similarly, I learned how to create vector art/book covers via tutorials on YouTube.
