  • Description

    Hello there! I am an open-minded person who is curious by nature and works with a good level of initiative. I'm motivated by science, culture, nature, dance and FOOD and I'm frequently described as easy-going by the lovely people that I've lived with. I do not take things personally and I'm very happy to adapt and discover new ways of living!

    Here is a quick list of my experience that may be useful to you:
    -PhD in engineering (focused on water purification and water management). I've been working in the lab for 4 years and I'm used to dealing with heavy equipment, minor electronics, pumps and screen printing equipment. I've also picked up some problem solving skills when things don't go to plan!
    -200 hr Ashtanga / Hatha yoga teacher certified
    -advanced open water scuba diver
    -intermediate Spanish speaker
    -experience teaching breathworth, meditation, yoga
    -experience teaching degree-level engineering, mathematics and chemistry

    Currently I'm on a big trip crossing from Mexico to Patagonia by land / boat. I've had some really great WorkAways so far which have taught me to be an autonomous worker with the following:
    -Harvesting coffee beans and mangos. I know the techniques for selecting the best beans and have harvested mostly caturra beans
    -Drying and processing cherry and enmielado cafe
    -Preparing for Temazcal ceremonies, including cooking Pozole for groups of 10+
    -Making tumeric powder from fresh rhizomes
    -Using electric sanding equipment and electric saws for cutting wooden shapes for eco projects
    -Painting and decorating to protect wooden cabins from termites
    -Maintaining continuous access to water from gravity water distribution system
    -Leading yoga classes for guests at hostels/hotels (preferred style is YinYang)
    -Cooking for large groups of guests and/or volunteers
