  • Description

    I'm a social person looking to meet new friends and work in different communal settings. I have lived and worked several years in Camphill Communities--intentional agricultural communities supporting people with special needs--and there discovered a deep love of lifesharing, cultural exchange, and experiencing the broadest possible spectrum of human development. I never tire of hearing people's life stories!

    My hobbies include piano, singing, cycling, paddling, hiking, and exploring new places. I am fluent in English and speak Spanish at an intermediate level. Once upon a time I was a freelance podcast producer but after about 5 years of it I realized I was more into having conversations than editing them. I enjoy writing--what am I saying, I hate writing--but I enjoy when it's finished. Try to avoid car travel at all costs; excited to see the as much of the world as I can by train, bike, and boat.

    I have experience in biodynamic farming and gardening, and I am always game for outdoor work, especially with a social aspect. I also love working with kids, folks with disabilities, and the elderly.
    “If I meet other people and criticize their weaknesses, I rob myself of higher cognitive power. But if I try to enter deeply and lovingly into another person's good qualities, I gather in that force.” -Rudolf Steiner

  • More details about your skills

    I have 2.5 years experience working in biodynamic farms and gardens in Camphill Communities, and am comfortable with a wide variety of agricultural tasks. I also worked with people with intellectual disabilities in that time--I love children and worked many years as a summer camp counselor as well--so I am very happy to do care work if that's needed.

    I'd love to learn how to build using natural materials! Can't pretend I have much experience, but I'm highly enthusiastic about working with someone who does.

    My favorite group activity is sitting around a piano, having people call out song requests and singing along together. I am always down for a new adventure!
