Introducing Myself!

Hello Steem Community!
I have never been comfortable talking about myself, but here goes nothing...

My name is Olivia Pietrafesa and I am 29 years old. I am originally from a small town in Upstate New York, but have lived in Manhattan, London, Denver, Rhode Island, and have recently moved to Madison, Wisconsin to be with my partner (her name is Jen).

While I technically work remotely as a research analyst for a small evaluation consulting firm, my real passion is organic farming which I have been doing for the last 6 years. Beyond employment, I am an avid foodie and love to cook (and eat!), I have 3 amazing siblings who are my best friends, and am OCCASIONALLY a model for my brilliant sister who started her own clothing line, Alix of Bohemia. I am wearing one of her pieces in the image above, and will shamelessly share a few more below...

As you can see, I have mastered RBF (resting bitch face), but behind the tough exterior I am gentle, compassionate, and a bit mysterious. I hope to use Steem to share everything from farming and cooking to my personal journey and experience falling in love with a woman as someone who had only dated men and does not identify as a lesbian or as bisexual.

I look forward to learning from and sharing with all of you further!

Hello oliviapeterface! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
