Summary

I am looking for something preferably remote and part time in between 20-30 hours as i plan to continue teaching piano lessons on the side but given the right fit I am open and flexible to the idea of something full time and/or on site. I have currently been benefiting lucratively from my culinary and musical inclinations but would love to explore something where I can work with and even more so help people in a more personal way be it in person or over the phone, as I have been largely self or family employed for the past few years. I've been told by many that I am a very empathic and empathetic person and while my passions are obviously important to me, if I can find something where some of my other stronger qualities can be utilized, I believe I will be most fulfilled.
