Description
Hello!
I'm an artist, avid gardener/nature enthusiast, yoga lover, experienced world traveler, and insatiable learner who is looking to gain hands on experience working on permaculture/sustainable agriculture - type projects, or anything that is centered on living closer to nature and working outside with my hands.
I am eager to see new places, meet new people, learn new things, and fill the pages of my sketchbook (see examples in photos) all while building my experience with permaculture/gardening/sustainable living/conscious community building.
I'm happiest outdoors in nature and/or absorbed in creative projects. I have a deep appreciation for the 'weird', whimsical, and unexpected things in life and am always excited to try something new.
My top ‘selling points’ are that I'm adaptable, hardworking, reliable, and genuinely passionate about getting involved in work/ways of living that make a positive impact in the world. I'm also a solid cook with experience maintaining a home, tending land and caring for animals. I have over a dozen years of professional experience working at a global non-profit, leading learning and development projects, developing leaders, and collaborating with people around the world to face complex challenges with minimal financial resources.
I would love to find opportunities that will allow me to be close to nature, experience new/alternative ways of living, visit the less-touched corners of the world, and connect with interesting, thoughtful, fun-loving people who share my passion for enjoying the present moment and marveling at the wonder of nature.
