Description

I find happiness in exploration; whether it’s through travel, studying new subjects or merely taking the path less followed. Understanding new cultures and practices feeds a lust for life that I am deeply motivated by. I love to rock climb. I have been focused on improving my outdoor climbing, attempting to climb boulders in the rocky mountains. My other hobbies include cycling, hiking, lifting, jiu-jitsu and various sports.

More details about your skills

My strongest skill is adaptability. Adaptation to new experiences and studies has led me to the greatest development. I am confident in my physical abilities, I like to stay very active through various sports and weight lifting. This allows me to work in areas that require strength and endurance such as outdoor work (farming, building, gardening) and house work (moving objects, lifting furniture, etc). I have worked around a high level kitchen from my last year in high school through my second year of university. Therefore any help cooking, dishwashing, or tasting will be provided. I am quite good with dealing with youth as I have worked with children aged 3 to 15. I was the head coach of a provincial level basketball team which gave me great insight into how to tend to young teens. I also have been a tutor for the last 5 years, helping students improve their math and writing abilities. Lastly, I have experience in sales as I spent a few summers selling outdoor services for a local company.

Other sports include, swimming, basketball, football/soccer, squash, running and especially cycling. I am also very into competitive games like chess and different card games.
