  • Description

    Hello everyone. I am an artist, licensed massage therapist and a long time traveler. I love seeing new places and doing it in the context of volunteerism always feels so rewarding. Being around other people and being of service genuinely brings me joy. I love all things music, dance, nature, yoga and learning.

  • More details about your skills

    I have volunteered on six farms/homesteads doing everything from cleaning, gardening, milking goats to cooking and child care.

    I love tending to gardens, thru watering or weeding. I have experience with harvesting and planting. I I am more than happy to get my hands dirty and am good with plants. I have also helped build ditch irrigation systems and have experience with trail maintenance.

    I have some very light carpentry experience from volunteering with Americorps. I have put baseboards and trim in homes and have helped build decks. I am by no means a handyman, but if you need help building and want to show me the ropes, I have the competency to help you achieve it and be an extra set of hands.

    I am a working artist. I love painting murals (I have done 5) and would love to help you with any creative projects around your space.

    I have taught in YMCA camps and facilitated classes and outdoor education as well. Certified yoga instructor.
