  • More details about your skills

    As I (Lena) wrote in the caption I’m good with animals. I grew up with dogs, some rescued cats and a rescued chinchilla :) and I do know a few things about gardening - and I’m a quick learner especially in the things I love.

    I am a Sociologist and the last year I startet an apprenticeship as a systemic consultant. After finishing my Masters (and while still studying) I worked in a campaign against Sexual Harassment. I was a trainee and did also some Social Media and communal work.

    For the last seven years I worked in a small shop selling ink and paper and so on. I also practiced a bit calligraphy. For the last 5 years I was the assistant and supported my boss.

    I also worked as a social worker and supported people with mental illnesses.

    I (Manu) studied Sustainable Systems Engineering, where I learned a lot about sustainability, electronics and programming. In my free time I often stayed at my friends who is renovating his house, so I’m good with all kind of tools. Furthermore I got experience in woodworking, since I did some furniture myself. I like to work on the computer and with my body.
