About I am a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman and, thusly, have found myself on multiple career paths. I spent the majority of my twenties as a veterinary technician as animals are a passion of mine. From there I found a job with a large-format digital printing company, first as an officer manager and then in an outside sales role. I moved on to a sales analyst role at a different printing company before ending up as a recruiter for a local employment agency. My most recent position involved directing an educational summer camp and setting up a work program for a non-profit whose mission was to help the homeless. While I didn't struggle with the tasks required of me in these positions, I did find myself confused by the "office politics" and the social expectations that come along with working on a team.
