  • Description

    Ciao! I am a young woman just graduated, with a great desire to challenge myself and have new experiences. I love animals, nature and looking at the open air. I'm not afraid of practical or demanding work, on the contrary, I face it with enthusiasm. I like working in a team because I believe that collaboration and the exchange of ideas make every activity more productive and also more fun.

    I am a cheerful, reliable and curious person, with a strong spirit of adaptability. Through these experiences I hope to learn a lot, to improve my English or even to discover new languages and to meet people with whom I can share culture, traditions and typical foods.

    I have just graduated in Animal Welfare and Protection and I would like to work in the future as a veterinary nurse in a clinic, pursuing my passion. However, my biggest dream is to one day open an educational farm, a place that combines nature, education and animal welfare, where I can share with people, especially children, love and respect for animals and the environment.

  • More details about your skills

    I have no problem adapting to new environments. I left my parents’ home when I was to attend university, living in a shared house with three other students, so I am comfortable sharing both spaces and daily life with others.

    I have developed skills in the welfare and care of small animals, particularly dogs and cats, both in healthy conditions and in situations that require medical attention at home, such as administering prescribed therapies.

    Where I live, I have had few opportunities to work directly with large animals, but I have a solid theoretical background and a strong interest in gaining hands-on experience in this field. For this reason, I would be very happy to expand my skills with them as well.

    In my family we also have a chicken coop, and I often help with the daily management of the hens, taking care of feeding, cleaning, and collecting eggs. This experience has brought me closer to rural life and to caring for farm animals.

    I also have experience in the gastronomy sector, particularly in pastry making. In general, I enjoy working in the kitchen, in cafés, or in the tourism and hospitality industry. I hold a diploma in Hotel and Tourism Management, which provided me with both practical and organizational skills.

    Finally, I have a strong passion for the outdoors. I cultivate a small vegetable garden with aromatic plants and seasonal produce, which I use in my cooking, combining my love for nature with creativity.

    I am also comfortable doing small maintenance or construction tasks at home. I don’t have formal qualifications in this area, but I am curious, quick to learn, and not afraid of manual work.

  • What else ...

    I am a sociable person and I like to spend time with others, share experiences and activities. At the same time, I also appreciate my quiet moments, which I consider important to recharge my energy.

    You should know that my English is not perfect, I can do basic communications, so I ask you for a little patience, but improving it is one of the objectives I would like to achieve thanks to this experience.

    I like reading, listening to music and I love board games. On nice days, I like to go for walks or hike in the mountains. Recently, I started practicing rock climbing, both indoors and outdoors. I'm learning it together with my brother, who is an instructor, and it quickly became a passion. I'm very athletic: I played volleyball for several years and today I continue to train in the gym together with all the climbing. I was a scout for 11 years, an experience that taught me the value of teamwork, respect for nature and responsibility. Over the past two years, I have also worked as a leading assistant for the children's group, a role that has greatly contributed to my personal growth and all my management skills. I'd like to learn to ride: I've only ridden it a couple of times, but it's a passion I'd like to explore further. In addition to pastry and hospitality, I have recently become more and more passionate about plant-based cuisine. I like to experiment with seasonal vegetables and ingredients, often using products from my small garden, combining health, creativity and respect for the environment. I studied German at the university for a year. I'm not very fluent yet and I know mainly basic grammar, but I would really like to start practicing it to improve and deepen my knowledge of the language. Surely my English needs to be improved as I have already said. I believe that every experience is a valuable opportunity for personal growth, learning and sharing. This is a bit about me, I know it's hard to describe yourself in a few lines, so I can't wait to meet you and spend some time together, so you can get to know me better in person!
