Sure! Was this the only introduction you've done so far?

If this is the case, you might do another one using the tag #introduceyourself (not splitting the word in two). Then your visibility might increase considerably. Whales like to swim around that trending page.
Also try to shorten your paragraphs (in the intro copied above they were very long). Consider that the attention span of poeple in social media is very low... So the more precise you are, the merrier. Use cross headings to put the important info in front and leave details in the back (using smaller font sizes).

Your story is very interesting, I'm sure you're going to do well here on steemit.
