  • Description

    I feel happiest when I’m close to nature, learning new things, and connecting with people. As a biology student, I’m deeply curious about the natural world, but beyond that, I simply love experiencing life fully; being outdoors, working with my hands, sharing stories, and growing through new challenges. I’m motivated by curiosity, adventure, and the desire to keep learning.

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve worked quite a lot in hospitality, so I’m used to being around guests, helping out where needed and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. I genuinely enjoy creating a welcoming atmosphere and working as part of a team.

    Through my biology studies I’ve also spent time doing fieldwork, which means I’m comfortable working outdoors and in practical settings. I’m not afraid of physical work or getting my hands dirty, I actually enjoy being active and involved rather than sitting still.

    Overall, I’d say I’m adaptable, easy to work with, and happy to step in wherever I’m needed.

  • What else ...

    In my free time I like keeping things simple. I read a lot, especially when I’m somewhere quiet or close to nature. I also love listening to music, my taste goes from Radiohead to Habibi Funk and a lot in between.

    I enjoy being active, going for long walks or runs, and just being outside. Since I’ll be near the ocean, I’d really love to learn how to surf at some point. Mostly I just enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and experiencing new places in a relaxed way.
