  • Description

    I've found a passion for learning about the world, other people, and cultures, which has led me to travel beyond my country over the past few years. What I've experienced while traveling and solo traveling, the people I've met, the food I've tried, the homes I've been welcomed in, and everything I've learned, I wouldn't trade for anything. I am a college student studying Political Science and Global Studies, and I love learning about how big our world is and how it interacts with itself. I learn a lot in classrooms, but I love it even more when I'm actually able to experience the world for myself, too!

    More details about my language interests
    I am in my second year of French studies and have just begun learning Arabic at my university. I am most interested in learning more about and practicing these languages, but I would be interested in others as well! I am also more than happy to help anyone practice English!

  • More details about your skills

    I grew up on a small farm and raised market and breeding livestock for seven years, so I am very comfortable around animals, barns, gardens, and anything agricultural. I have been a freelance photographer for almost two years and have experience working with signed models; I mainly work with portraits, but I love photographing anything and everything! I also have much experience working with children. Both my parents are teachers, and I often helped in my mother's elementary class. I was employed in a church supervising and assisting in teaching children for a year, and I continue to work in that position when I am in my hometown. During the summer of 25, I was also an au pair for two months in the South of France. I've also worked as a barista, so I'm familiar with food service, money handling, and customer service. I competed in speech and debate for five years in middle and high school and debated on a collegiate level, so I have skills and a solid foundation in public speaking and presenting. I've briefly been involved in house building, played an instrument since I was 11, and cooked for most of my life, including competitively on a small scale for a few years. All this to say, I have experience in many things, and I am ready to improve on and learn anything!
