Description

I am a bubbly extrovert seeking adventure! I love going outside my comfort zone and trying new things. I hope through workaway I get the opportunity to meet extraordinary people and make unforgettable memories. So excited for what lies ahead!

Having studied environmental science and worked as a sustaianability consultant I find eco and socio conscious stays to be particularly interesting. Combined with my love of cooking with fresh, whole foods I find foodie households to also be a great match!

More details about your skills

Childcare:
I have plenty of experience working with kids. I first gained experience working with 2-4 year olds in a nursery and later spent a year regularly babysitting three wonderful girls aged 6-12. I also spent 3 years in the Air Cadets (precursor to the Royal Air Force) where as corporal, I would be responsible for up to eight 13-16 year olds at a time.

In summer 2019, I flew solo to the USA to work as a counsellor at a summer camp. There my responsibilities extended to eleven 11-year-olds whom I grew to love during my time there. I was lucky enough to explore the east coast after my work with some friends I made along the way.

Throughout the year prior to my big trip to the USA, I worked in a home for the elderly. I took pride in the tea and coffee run, making sure to save residents their favourite biscuits and knowing exactly how they like their cup! After preparing and serving lunch to them, I would spend afternoons coordinating social activities like bingo, card games or art classes. During quieter days I would go a sit with any resident that wanted my company, and revelled in the old stories they would share with me.

Sustainability:
My first class honors degree in Environmental Science provides a foundational knowledge of sustainability topics which I was able to build on in my professional capacity as a Sustainability Consultant.

Cooking:
I also have a passion for cooking. During my time at university I regularly cooked Sunday lunch for my flat of 7! I have dabbled in new cuisines, with my all time favourite dish being Korean Bipimbap! More recently I have spent a lot of time baking - from carrot cake to banana bread - and even making my own sourdough!

Work experience:
I also have other work experience in hospitality, house keeping and e-commerce. So I am no stranger to waitressing, household maintanence and even being a barista!

Yoga:
I have been practicing yoga for 3 years. I do my best to get at least 10 minutes in every day, however I would love to practice more often and improve my flexibility! Since being in Australia I have enjoyed participating in reformer Pilates and salsa dancing!

25

What else ...

I adore board games. My all time favourite is Settlers of Catan - but many others come to mind. I also enjoy chess and card games since my grandparents taught me to play from a young age.

I taught myself ukulele about 5 years ago - by all means quite basic, but well enough to sing along for enjoyment!

I obtained my Open Water PADI qualification in June 2024. Scuba diving is an absolute pleasure of mine, along with other water sports like sailing and kayaking.
