Looking for remote work, part-time or full-time, that puts graduate-level expertise in religion, cross-cultural communication, and writing to real use. Flexibility is a plus but not a requirement — for the right role, I can make a more structured schedule work. Open to contract or project-based work, with compensation that reflects that level of expertise.

@jaredadams1
Educator, musician, and interfaith-trained writer with 20+ years of experience communicating across cultures, communities, and ways of thinking.
What I'm looking for
I bring together two decades as a musician and educator with a Master's in Interreligious Studies focused on comparative religion, eco-spirituality, and cross-cultural dialogue. My background spans curriculum design, public speaking, mentoring, and program leadership, along with several years supporting autistic and neurodivergent learners, work that sharpened my ability to communicate clearly across very different ways of processing the world. I'm drawn to roles where careful reasoning, cultural nuance, and clear articulation of ideas actually matter.
