Welcome to Steemit Kristen. Great "introduceyourself" post! I'd like to work remotely and your post is a good resource for knowing what kind of work can be done from anywhere.

It may make a difference if you shared a verification picture of yourself with a handwritten sign that says "Steemit" and has the current date.

It helps people to know that you didn't just post a picture of someone else and claim that it's you. Hope that helps!
