Description
Hi there! I'm a 30-year-old Canadian female living in Clearwater, Florida. I work as a psychologist and I am often traveling through the US to different states.
I am a huge advocate for social justice, equality, and mental health. Much of this is reflected in my work.
My goals as a WorkAway Host are to offer a cultural exchange and to teach people around the world about the complexities of poverty and mental health in the American healthcare and justice system.
I also LOVE animals! Sadly my 16-year-old chihuahua, Snickers, passed away (you will see lots of pictures of him on my page!). I have recently brought home a little Pomeranian puppy that is a HANDFUL. He enjoys running outside at the dog park. He has plenty of energy! I also take care of neighborhood cats and dogs, which is a lot of fun in my free time!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As I often travel to different states, I often like to bring my WorkAwayers with me to get a full cultural experience. I am mostly based in Palmetto, Florida (near St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa). Palmetto is a beautiful place, close to the beach for amazing sunsets.
I really enjoy taking WorkAwayers to explore trendy places in the area and experience as much American culture as I can!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Beyond the cultural exchange, I often need assistance with:
* Supporting families in poverty and/or whose loved ones are incarcerated
* Assistance with cognitive assessments
* Caring for my Pomeranian puppy
* Pet sitting neighborhood dogs and cats
* Light cleaning
* Social media promotion/marketing
Please let me know if you have a preference for the type of tasks listed and I'll be happy to arrange it!
I can offer:
* Bedroom and bathroom (usually shared with 1 other WorkAwayer)
* Groceries and some meals in the house
* Insight into the American justice and mental health system
* Experience and professional development for students in psychology or law
My ideal WorkAwayer would be:
* Able to stay 2-8 weeks
* Open-minded and LGBTQ+ affirmative
* Enthusiastic and empathic
* Passionate about helping others
* Interested in psychology and social justice
* Dog lover
* Enjoys exploring the city
I'm fairly easy-going and I'm open to accepting families, pets, and couples.

Accommodation
You will share an apartment with my younger brother (19 years old) and I. Our apartment complex is very tropical - has a beautiful pool, office space, clubhouse, and gym. I can send you pictures and videos of my apartment and room.
There are some restaurants and stores that are walkable. I am happy to take you in my free time or you can use my car with an international drivers license. The beach is about a 15 minutes drive.
You are welcome to eat any of the snacks in the house and cook your own food. During the week I'm usually out from 7 AM - 5 PM on Monday to Friday so I can only guarantee that I can provide 1 meal (usually dinner). I will also give you some money to go to the grocery store to buy other foods you like.
