Tips writing for a profile

Tell people a bit about yourself (consider some or all of the following suggestions/questions in creating your profile).

• Include a picture of yourself, or something you identify with.
• Think about writing in first person tense as it  can feel more personal.
• Why do you like doing what you do?
• What is your inspiration/passion?
• What accomplishments are you proud of?
• Do you have a relevant educational background or training?
• Include an anecdote /story/short history of why/how you learned your skill.
• What do you do outside of your participation in The Local Exchange?  
• Proof read (have a friend or family member help)
