Description

Hi there! I'm an adventurous, curious, artistic, driven, and caring human. Originally from California, with experience living and traveling in other countries.

Through Workaway, I would love to get involved in a project where I can help local communities. I care a lot about food security, sexual health, human rights, education, and self expression. If I can help increase any of those areas (or maybe others) in my Workaways, it would be an honor.

I'm a very active and athletic person. I love to learn to things and am ready to get my hands dirty.

If this sounds like your hosting experience please read on:

Growing up, I was home schooled until middle school so my favorite form of learning is through experiences!

1 and a half years ago I chose to leave my California based job and look for adventure and learning abroad. So far it has been wonderful and I plan to continue to travel and work for the next couple years abroad. If I find a great fit, I'd love to expand my time in a single location or with a specific Workaway.

I am now a digital nomad and work a few hours a week online. I create community building and experiential learning experiences. Generally I have a very flexible schedule but occasionally I may have work meetings or online events that I am running.

I have taught partner dancing (tango, waltz, cha cha, etc.) as a side job and love to dance socially. I love to move my body in general and learn actively about what is around me. Community and connection is important to me (I'm a people-person!).

I have the dream of creating some type of "symbiotic" social impact organization in San Francisco. I'd love to learn from others about how they are running their non-profit organizations and possibly help improve what they are doing!

If you have questions about me, please reach out! I'm excited about going almost anywhere. The place is less important to me than a good fit!
