    Travelling

  • Description

    I am an artist/thinker/storyteller always on the search for intentional, spritual, cultural and communtiy orientated adventure!
    After completing a degree in Fine Art, I can appreciate what the process of creation, in all its many forms, has brought to my life; a sense of joy, purpose, and an ability to view the world differently. Working with my hands excites me and is one of my strongest skills.

    I have been a traveler since I was 3 years old, so the spirit of adventure runs strong through my veins! This is what brings me to WorkAway- a new adventure! I am excited to learn more about this world we live in, excited to meet new people, form new connections and learn new skills through volunteering.

  • More details about your skills

    Due to the nature of my Fine Art degree, most of my skills lie within the field of Art! I know how to work with clay, including how to pit-fire clay sculptures. I have basic skills in metal work, including basic knowledge of arc and stick-welding. I have immense patience when it comes to the process of making - I have built an outdoor barbecue area with my father, and have been painting murals since 2012; I have recently got into wheat-pasting! I am highly skilled in image generation. I am a photographer, as well as a videographer. I know my way around Adobe's Creative Cloud Software! I have a very active imagination, and so story-telling and community connections are very important to me. I have excellent communication and research skills. I work very well with in a team, I love the way people can help and motivate each other when working together.

    I have experience with working in creative projects, where I was the videographer and editor for a few promotional videos for a Opera Company in my hometown. I have also directed a handful of amateur plays (My skills really do lie with in the creative arts!) I have experience working with all sorts of people, from children to disabled adults, I would describe myself as a typical peoples person!
