Description

Hello!
My name is Marie, I’m 28 years old and I come from Lyon, France. I’m currently taking a break from my job (at the university) to travel for a few months, discover new places, and offer my help to people who might need it.

I would describe myself as creative, sociable, and open-minded. Even though I’m still improving my English (sorry for that), I enjoy having conversations, meeting new people, and learning from others.

I love animals (especially cats!) and I’m very active: I practice running, trail running, hiking, boxing, weight training, and even a bit of climbing. In my free time, I also enjoy pottery, painting, and drawing.

I grew up in a small village where my father is a farmer, so I’m familiar with working with my hands and I’m not afraid of physical tasks.

I’m excited to share experiences, learn new skills, and contribute wherever I can!

More details about your skills

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and Economics, and a Master’s degree in Communication and Marketing. Over the past years, I have worked in four very different organizations within the communication field: a music school, a bank, an accounting firm, and now a university.

To support my studies, I also took on many student jobs: waitress in a restaurant, factory worker, cashier at a swimming pool, camp counselor, and even cleaning breast pumps in a hospital. These diverse experiences taught me how to be flexible, responsible, and ready to take on any task.

Through my professional background, I have developed strong skills in communication, organization, creativity, and teamwork. I am comfortable managing projects, creating content, and adapting to different audiences. Thanks to my varied student jobs, I am also used to practical and manual work, providing customer service, and working efficiently under pressure.

I would describe myself as adaptable, curious, sociable, and reliable – qualities that help me fit easily into new environments and contribute positively to a team.
I enjoy learning new skills and I am not afraid of hard work, whether it’s physical tasks, creative projects, or helping with daily routines.

What else ...

I am also passionate about board games and I’m always excited to learn a new one. I really enjoy movies and series, especially science fiction and fantasy, but I also love a good thriller, action film, or even a romantic story. In winter, I love skiing – and I enjoy the season in general because it means Christmas! Coming from a big family has probably made me very sociable and comfortable around people. I also love cooking and learning how to prepare new dishes: lasagna is definitely my specialty!
