I took a break in my home country for study purposes, and I can’t wait to come back to Australia by mid-May to hopefully complete my 88 days!

Description

Hi there :)
I’m a friendly and easygoing person with a big passion for animals and nature — so much so that I completed two university degrees in animal sciences!
I love getting involved, learning new things and helping out wherever I can. Whether it’s gardening, animal care, small manual jobs or creative projects, I’m always curious to give it a try. I’m hands-on, reliable and always show a positive attitude, no matter what I'm doing.
Meeting new people, sharing experiences and discovering cultures is my favourite sport — that’s why I hold a Working Holiday Visa for Australia, which made me fall in love with the country.
I’d be more than happy to lend a hand and be part of your project!

More details about your skills

I have a solid foundation in animal care and welfare, and I enjoy getting involved in hands-on tasks such as gardening, light maintenance, and small DIY projects. I’m always eager to learn new skills and take on different tasks as needed.
I also gained valuable skills working as a veterinary nurse and receptionist - these roles helped me develop strong attention to detail, good communication with both clients and colleagues, and the ability to stay organised while handling multiple tasks.
With a positive attitude and a reliable work ethic, I’m adaptable and able to work both independently and as part of a team. I’m always ready to help out and focus on getting things done efficiently.

What else ...

I volunteered as a rescuer for three years, an experience that taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure and being helpful in unexpected situations.
In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and occasionally sketching or drawing — it’s a great way for me to relax and tap into my creative side.
I’m always up for a good challenge and enjoy learning new things in all aspects of life!
