Description

Hello! My name is Leona, I am 24 years old and have just graduated from University with a Master's in Education (teaching German and English). I love teaching but I have so many more hobbies and interests that I want to invest some time into also regarding my personal and professional growth. So I have decided to use the time between graduation and getting a job to explore those interests while travelling, meeting new people, and experiencing other cultures. I have had great experiences with other Workaway opportunities before, so I am really looking forward to the upcoming time.

I would describe myself as an open-minded, positive person who cares a lot about self-development. I am hardworking and always try to give my best and help others wherever help is needed.

More details about your skills

During my studies, I worked at schools and as a private tutor. Therefore, I have already gained some experience working with children and working in stressful environments (:D). Before that, I worked in an amusement park. There I was in the animation and information team. That taught me a lot about communicating with people who speak different languages and coming up with solutions for every problem imaginable.

I love working with children and am excited to become a teacher but one of my other interests is animals. Growing up, my family always had pets so I know how beautiful but also time-consuming and exhausting working and living with animals can be. Nevertheless, I love caring for them whether one has to cuddle, play with, or be there for them when they get sick. I have also volunteered in an animal shelter in Portugal which was simply amazing. My time there has taught me many valuable lessons about animal care and working in large, international teams.
