Description

I have been fortunte enought to travel and see a good amount of the world, soak up different cultures and meet some amazing people. It's a way of life I really enjoy, whether thats with people or alone. With every new experience comes new joys and new lessons to learn. Some of my favourite things are being and sitting with the locals, learning, listening, working together on projects, eating our favourites dishes. There's so much to be learned through simple human interactions and this is why I love platforms like Workaway.

The 3 mains areas of my work and skillsets are; 1. Construction/carpentry. 2. Photography and Design. 3. Youth Work/Mentorship. I worked in the construction for some years. I got my first job aged 15 in construction and spent over 10 years in and out of the industry. In that time I studied Graphic Design Communication at UAL Chelsea. This expansive for my creative expression and helped me see things for a particular lens. My creative expression started many years ago when I picked up my first digital camcorder and started filming skate videos with my friends at 10 years old, which evolved more into photography. Being the oldest sibling of 10, working with young people and providing a space for development came natural to me and I as reached my lates 20's my path aligned where I worked for a Alternative learning provision and put together with a team our own programs that focuses on movement and exercising as the main catalyst for development and growth.

I've spent the last several years building a lifestyle where I can share my skills, capitalise on the diversity of them and help people around the world. My goal is to amalgamate these different career avenues into something singular and viable. It's a work in progress but exploring the world, helping people and lendingmy skills only helps the progress.
