More details about your skills

I am a curious, hardworking, and empathetic person who loves to spend time outdoors, connect with others and have a laugh.
I have a big family, I am the second oldest with four sisters and I love to spend time with my younger siblings, playing and exploring the world through their eyes.
I often cook dinner for my family; curries, pasta, dumplings, you name it! And I would love the chance to learn about new recipes and ingredients to try in the kitchen.
In Melbourne, I work two jobs; as a florist and in a warehouse, cleaning camping gear for hire. Being a florist has strengthened my creativity and passion for flowers and plants, while working at the warehouse has given me greater experience in teamwork and allowed me to get physically stronger.
In 2019, I had the opportunity to live in Wellington, NZ for six months with my family. During this time I was able to immerse myself in a new way of life, by going to school, and exploring the countryside on weekends. The time away taught me a lot about the importance of trying new things and how rewarding travel and meeting new people can be.
I graduated from Year 12 in 2022, after receiving high results in English and Politics. Learning about the history and politics of different countries is important to me, in order to better my understanding of the world. I plan to go to the Australian National University in 2024 and follow my interest in humanitarian and political subjects.

What else ...

I love reading books, anything really that I can get my hands on and I'm always open to recommendations. Currently teaching myself how to crochet and I enjoy other creative outlets such as painting and drawing. I'm also a strong swimmer, and I love the water. I danced for 10 years, as I find it an amazing way to exercise and express myself.
