More details about your skills
I used to be a rock climbing staff in LA so I have some experience welcoming customers and coaching kids (whom I belayed).

My main experiences are work related, in the fields of marketing and communication. I also learned how to use Adobe Premiere Pro on my own.

On a side note, I absolutely love animals and given the chance, I could see myself opening my own sanctuary when I grow old.

I was lucky to stay at Rosa and Pau's house for 2 weeks. This was my first workaway and it was the perfect experience to get started, as they always made sure I was comfortable and treated me like a family member.
