Description

I am looking for opportunities to practice my Portuguese, I was previously B2 level (based on the EU framework)
I have been in Brazil for 6 weeks and will be here for 3-6 months to share and be a part of Brazil’s beautiful culture.

I love to climb, sail, learn/share languages and with 10 years of working in charity/NGO fields, absolutely adore helping others. I cycled across Europe from Brussels to Macedonia to challenge myself (and keep fit and happy). I have two level 5 degrees in consultancy and management predominantly focusing on project management/ delivery. At the moment I am studying a third degree-level qualification (level 5) in Teaching English as a Foreign Language which is accredited by the TEFL Institute.

As my work has commonly been with vulnerable people and children, I hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring service certificate (DBS) proving my certification to work with community groups and I have a criminal police check which shows no criminal convictions. Overview of work:
Homelessness prevention
Youth community development (national and international)
Small business start-up consultant
Support teacher
Heath carer
Project supervisor for intellectually disabled young people
