Description

Hey, I'm Rebecca!

I'm in my mid-twenties and just finished my Master's degree in Biological Sciences. Now I'm ready for a new adventure!

I grew up in a very small, hilly village in western Germany, which fostered my love for exploring the forests while enjoying the fresh air. My family and I are very close and it always makes me happy to play with my three-year-old niece and watch her grow up. That is why I frequently took the time to visit them ever since I moved to the city to attend university.

During my studies, I learned a lot about nature and animal welfare. Environmental conservation became a very important topic for me. But my love for all kinds of different species is the main reason why I would like to work with animals or help caring for your plants during my time abroad.

Although I can enjoy being alone, I'm very empathetic and enjoy getting to know people. In my field, students from many different countries came together, which taught me to communicate and connect with people in English.

A fun way to spend time with friends for me is cooking or baking together and talk just about anything. I'm also very active, especially since I found my passion for Yoga, Bouldering and Wudang Kung-Fu. In my downtime, I love to relax with a good book, play the piano or solve some riddles.

I am very curious and open and want to broaden my horizon before starting the next chapter in my (everyday) life. As I am both a reliable worker and adaptable in new situations, I am excited and ready to help and learn from you!

More details about your skills

I'm fluent in German and near-fluent in English and always ready to expand my vocabulary! Apart from my formal academic education in Biology, which included lab work but also focused a lot on animal behaviour and welfare, I've worked as a waitress and have some experience in babysitting children.
I very much enjoy being around and caring for animals. Up until now, I mostly got to spend time with dogs, rats, cats, rabbits and a few times with horses. I'm very eager to learn more and develop new skills!
