What is the best way to present myself? Can I integrating my skills into a single profession?
I have a background in healthcare and business management. I partnered with the local DHS office as a benefits counselor. I am community educator and run a small informational co-op on like. I was recently approved as a researcher with our local museum. I am not sure how to combine these into one profession. I have a hard time writing bios or explaining what I do, although I seem to be able to help just about everyone! Thanks in advance. #teacher #business #career #entrepranuer #selfemployed #smallbusiness #Journalism #Contentcreator

In other words - once you define your end point, you work backwards from there. I hope this helps!

You could consider to run a consultancy service on healthcare and human resources on staff benefit. For example,
If you offering Human Resources consultancy on staff benefit, you could also offer the service healthcare to create the synergy since medical benefit is one of the key staff benefit. You experience with DHL is definitely helps and you can add this to your company bio.
Also, I would suggest you could start your business online first if possible. It can lower costs. You can work as freelance on your business. On the other hand, you can continue your research work with museum.
You do not need to put these experience into your career. It is beneficial for your to gain more experience in various industries. You can then decide which one you are interested on and further develop your career there.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

As an example, I was once helping a young lady who wanted to work at a doggy daycare facility. Her only experience was in fast food. But, we were able to focus on her customer service skills and experience in maintaining a clean and disease-free environment - something important in food safety and animal safety!
Focus on the relevant, leave out the totally irrelevant - a resume isn't a biography.
Good luck!

Wow, that great that you have such a robust list of strength and experiences. My suggestion would be to focus on finding a job and tailoring your experiences to the career. My previous jobs include krav maga (self-defense) instructor, a museum photography technician, an acupuncturist and now a support engineer. When I was applying to my current job and breaking into the technology field, I took elements of those jobs that fit the technical support field like my communication skills and familiarity with technology. Once I had my resume tailored to technical adjacent jobs, I didn't change it that much. So if you're finding you're applying for a variety of jobs I'd take the time to tailor your resume to fit the job.
Best of luck!!
