💛 #RWWCommunity Hero Spotlight: Maria P.
Every month, we introduce an RWW Community Hero who has shared their story, tips, and/or support to showcase our valued members around the world.
Meet Maria:
Since im an online entrepreneur I have been working for my self since many years and has been a lonely path. [...] I hold a degree in Territorial Planning and Management, but what has always captivated me is the environment and people — specifically, nature and understanding how we can become emotionally regulated and purposeful individuals.
After finishing my studies, I embarked on an adventure that changed everything for me: I traveled the world for six years. During this time, I immersed myself in different cultures, learning from diverse perspectives and ways of life. These experiences profoundly transformed who I was, opening me to a broader, more compassionate view of the world.

2moLooking for a career not a contracted Remote job I am a single mother of 3 with a mobility disability and I have been working remotely for 3 years now but its hard to find one that will keep you and have actual employee benefits that is full time and not just 6 months to a year. I have data entry and banking/financial experience with the last 2 companies I have worked for and was contracted out to different companies to work with.

3moI would like more information about becoming a remote worker. I have been preparing to become a remote or virtual bookkeeper and I am almost ready but I would take any job in accounting if they offered me just 2 hours a day Monday through Friday. I only want to work a few hours a day because I am also an advocate and a lobbyist and also a quadriplegic so things take me a little longer than they used to.
