Description

I'm a social work student finishing my master's, so social issues and politics are something I don't shy away from. I enjoy envisioning a more socially just world in all ways, which is partly why I'm doing volunteer work here in Finland too.

In my free time I enjoy reading, (vegetarian) cooking and yoga. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I have years of experience as my mother's left hand at her garden!

I still miss my beloved rescue dog, who passed away last fall. All animals hold a special place in my heart.

I've been studying French for years in school, but I've never really had the opportunity to practice it in real life. So I'm really hoping that I could improve my French in order not to sound like a bot. I'm fluent in English.

More details about your skills

My family has a century old house in the countryside, where I've spent most of my summers growing up. We have a garden and some property to manage, so those kinds of things come to me rather naturally. Also I've previously participated on the site of an sustainable building project in the Philippines in 2018.

I love children of all age, so babysitting and coming up with creative activities are something I really enjoy.



My special skill is making flower crowns with fresh wild flowers and plants!
