Description

I’m happiest when I’m outdoors, whether hiking, playing sports, or learning new things in the water like kayaking, snorkeling, or (hopefully soon) surfing. After six years studying and working in politics, I’m excited to get hands-on with NGOs in particular, especially in environmental and animal protection, where I can learn and also make a real difference.

I consider myself extroverted and curious, and I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, and sharing experiences. This is definitely due to my own background, as I'm half french half Iranian, grew up in Germany and lived in Germany, France, the UK and San Marino. I really enjoy learning from different cultures. I’ve also been playing guitar for 13+ years, love football, basketball, and the gym, and always have a soft spot for animals.

More details about my language interests
I’ve had the privilege of growing up fully bilingual, attending a French school in Germany. At 18, I decided to pursue my studies in English and eventually became fluent in all three languages, even passing the Cambridge C2 exam. While living in San Marino for half a year, I practiced and improved my Italian with roommates who didn’t speak English, and more recently I’ve been taking online Farsi classes for over a year. Learning Farsi in particular has been a real eye-opener to the challenges that come with learning a new language, and it’s made me even more excited to support others on their own language journeys, whether in English, French, or German.

More details about your skills

I speak fluent English, German, and French, and have basic knowledge of Italian, Spanish, and Farsi. My academic and professional background is in human rights, environmental protection, business development, and marketing, which has given me strong organizational and communication skills. I’ve often been told I’m a great public speaker, and I really enjoy connecting with people.

In terms of volunteering, I’ve taken part in local litter-picking campaigns, fundraising initiatives, basketball coaching, and supporting children through babysitting and after-school help. I’m always eager to learn, adapt, and contribute wherever I can be useful!

What else ...

My goal for this year has been to improve my dancing skills - like, not become a great dancer, but simply not stay a bad dancer. Let's see how that turns out...

Otherwise, I love playing the card game Werewolf!
