Description

I've spent the past year teaching English in a secondaria in Catalonia, and before that lived in the New York where I've worked as administrative staff at a university, managed a creative writing program for an independent publisher, taught university-level essay writing, and more. I'm also a published writer (fiction) and have been lucky enough to attend artist residencies and lived in an artist collective for a while.

I'm using workaway for the first time to fill my summer with learning new skills! I only have minor/non-professional previous experience gardening and working with domestic animals, but am fast learner and am very motivated to learn more.

I speak A2 level Spanish and hope to improve. I also know a little bit of Persian (low-level heritage speaker).
