  • Description

    I thrive on meaningful connections—whether it’s swapping stories over a home-cooked meal, learning phrases in a new language, or laughing over cultural misunderstandings. I find joy in collaborating, creating bridges between art and community. Whether playing music or fixing a roof, I thrive on problem-solving with teams.
    I like share my skills and expertise (sound design, creative direction, problemsolving) while learning grassroots initiatives.

    Joy in simplicity: A well-organized workshop, a home-cooked meal with hosts, or playing music by the fire lights me up.

    Workaway Wishlist
    - Find a community, help sharing skills
    - Help eco-projects with media storytelling
    - Teach music production in community spaces
    - Assist art/film residencies with technical setups


    Why I Volunteer:
    - Curiosity-driven growth: I love work that teaches me tangible skills (farming, building, animal care) or pushes me creatively (art projects, teaching).
    - Conribute by supporting someone’s dream—a sustainable project, a family home, a cultural initiative—gives me energy.
    - Joy through help and sharing.

    Little Joys:
    - Waking up to nature sounds (ocean, birds, rain)
    - Hands-on tasks like gardening, painting, or organizing (oddly therapeutic!)
    - Cultural exchange—sharing stories, music and skills.
    - Problem-solving together—figuring out how to fix a leaky roof or plan a workshop
