Easy going French/American travelling down through South America to learn Spanish and enjoy the natural beauty! Hitting the three month mark and more than ready to volunteer along the way.
Background in international development and human rights - work experience as a multimedia journalist covering environmental issues, migration, and community organisations.
I've also worked in bars, as a human rights consultant, with artists on a gigantic sculpture, and as a volunteer in refugee camps in France and West Africa.
Free time is spent hiking, playing music, gardening, taking pictures and reading. I love stories and hearing about the world around me - over cards, on long bus rides, or while swinging in a hammock.
Enjoying the travelling life and looking to help out where I can!

Focus on both policy level and grassroots projects. Article coordination, conducting interviews, videography and post-production (video, photo, and audio editing / Adobe Suite).
I am travelling with my camera and audio recording equipment so am able to produce promotional or documentary-style overviews of projects.

In-depth research into country and regional affairs and production of reports for leading companies and International Non-Governmental Organisations. Strong on information gathering, analysis, and synthesis. Database management and Microsoft Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
