Description
II’ve been around horses since I was 9 years old and am confident with all aspects of their daily care, including grooming, feeding, mucking out, and general stable tasks. My riding background is mainly recreational, with a focus on dressage and some experience in show jumping. We also have a dog at home, so I’m used to taking daily responsibility for animal care and wellbeing.
I’m also a big houseplant enthusiast and have always enjoyed helping in my parents’ garden, so I’m comfortable with basic plant care and outdoor work. I’m very eager to get involved in hands-on outdoor projects and would love to learn more about gardening and landscaping — I’m not afraid of physical work and enjoy being active outside.
I studied molecular biology and bioinformatics, and during that time worked as a tutor for children in English and chemistry, which strengthened my patience, communication skills, and sense of responsibility. I also designed and taught my own introductory bioinformatics courses for high school students.
Before taking time to travel, I worked in business and strategy consulting, which gave me a strong sense for organization, problem-solving, and supporting projects in a structured and reliable way.

What else ...
I am generally a very social and outgoing person who enjoys spending time with other people, whether it is while enjoying nature together, playing board games, or nerding over books or science.
I balance and recharge by spending time with myself doing sports, reading books and enjoying good coffee.
