More details about your skills

I have an immersive experience in woodturning with handmade tools. I find myself quite good at detailed work and organizing space. I also have very good eyes for detail, which I believe is useful for any kind of work/chore with my hands.
In the past three months on the Gulf islands in BC, I built an outside shower house and an outhouse for the local family.

I am a relationship-oriented person with good empathy. I love and enjoy sharing the fun with people and helping them travel as a translator guide. I'm good at listening and uplifting people.
