Nature of the job role

About Me.
I currently have an interest in costume, textiles and the fashion industry and I have an interest in media and film studies. I am considering attending courses based on my interests in the future. I can be quite shy, so it is important that you are able to build rapport and be patient and understanding. This will enable me to build up my confidence. I would, one day, like to go to study, live independently and travel to different places.
I live with chronic and energy limiting neuro immune conditions ME/CFS, POTs and I am looking for someone with patience and understanding. Someone who can also act as peer support and a trusted advocate. Someone who will give gentle encouragement but with the ability to understand the need I have to conserve energy. It would be good if we shared the same interests in design, drama, fashion, and film.
