  • Description

    I've found a passion for learning about the world, other people, and cultures, which has motivated me to travel outside of my country over the past few years. What I've experienced while traveling and solo traveling, the people I've met, food I've tried, homes I've been welcomed in, and everything I've learned from traveling, 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 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 would help in my mother's elementary class often. 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. 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 been involved in house building briefly, played an instrument since I was 11, and cooked competitively (on a small scale). All this to say, I have experience in many things, and I am ready to improve on and learn anything!
