Profile information
Description
I joined work away to learn about different skills and to work within a community/group of people to build, develop, sustain and improve whatever the project may be. I am passionate about meeting new people, I love to learn and to teach others.
I have experience with DIY, I have painted an entire appartment, fitted new taps, painted rustend radiators, fixed plaster holes, changed fire alarms etc. I am keen to learn more as i would like to renovate homes in the future.
I am passionate about cooking, and am keen to learn more about about growing/preserving food. Projects involving building or creating something are also of much interest to me, I come from an engineering background, so I am always intrigued about how something works.
I have practiced mindfulness and meditation for several years and would be glad to share these ideas.
I did an apprenticeship in engineering whilst studying for a degree in manufacturing engineering for 5.5 years. I worked in all areas of the business, working in the factory learning from the experienced operators, to working with management on business projects. During the apprenticeship I was promoted to Project Engineer working in the recycling industry for 3.5 years, and then shortly in the water purification industry. Within these roles I gained experience in project management, quality inspection, health and safety, team leadership.
I have worked as a waiter in a restaurant for 6 months. I enjoyed the environment because it was really people focused, I enjoyed making the guests laugh and seeing them enjoying their meals and having a good time.
I volunteered at The Sunday Centre in Sheffield, England. this is a charity which offers a free hot meal and supplies to anyone in need. I had a two roles here, I greeted the guests at the door, got any supplies for them. I waited tables and assisted any guests with anything they needed. This experience showed me how investment, organisation and willing volunteers could help those in need.

I am very passionate about languages. In my city, there is a very diverse range of languages. I have Italian, English, Dutch and some French ancestry. This has inspired me to learn more about my background, and to learn the languages which my family speak. I have been told I am a good teacher, I understand the difficulty of learning English from my friends, therefore I am glad to help them and others in improving their level of speaking.
