More details about your skills

During my high school years I participated in a girl scouts group, that taught me the basic skills of camping.

After my bachelors I worked on a landscape architecture firm, where I learned the basics of gardening. And then I worked in a the National Palace of Guatemala, directing a group of more than 50 people doing works of restoration in it.

I like to organize, make plans, learn new things. I consider I can apply this skills and be resourceful.

What else ...

I participate on a volunteering for a foundation in Guatemala, dedicated to support young girls living in rural areas from the country, with scholarships.
Personally, my participation in this foundation is to give english tutorship once a week to a assigned student and I help her with her homework or complement the content of what she studies at school in the english class. All this support is online.
