Description
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
I’m a sociable, conscientious, and healthy individual with a wide range of practical and cognitive skills — from gardening and DIY to abstract problem-solving. I’m highly hands-on and enjoy physical work, but I also bring a number of digital and content creation abilities, including video and audio production, service and user experience design, and graphic design.
I also love cooking and have experience as the chef at a retreat centre, where I prepared tasty vegan meals for up to fifty people at a time.
Recently, I finished writing a self-help book and am currently looking for a publisher. I really enjoy new experiences — especially exploring different ways of living and working together.
I’m a qualified yoga teacher and trauma counsellor, and I hold a current DBS certificate for working with children and vulnerable people. (I also have government security clearance from previous work — although I doubt that will be relevant here!)
I’m based in the UK for the summer and heading to South America for the first time in October, which I’m really excited about.
In summary: friendly, fun, and multi-skilled!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. :)
Best wishes,
James
