Description

I am a 30 year old English/Irish woman living in South East Cornwall, England.
I run a food waste social enterprise, where we cook meals for the local community with food that is destined for landfill. I also do some ad-hoc social media, cheffing and creative work, and previously spent 5 years working as a journalist for the BBC.
I help out with arts workshops with children, so have experience of working with children.
I love sea-swimming, spending time with animals, travelling, gardening, singing and dancing.
I also perform in drama and musical productions and love to do so.
I speak a little bit of Italian and Spanish, am a fantastic cook, have a Permaculture Design qualification, and am very sociable.
I've got lots of experience in different areas, but am also looking to learn more! I'd particularly love to work with more animals and children and to improve my food knowledge.
Currently learning to drive.
I have both Irish and American passports, so am able to work in Europe and the US without a visa.
