Description
Hi! I’m Sophie, and I’m from Trinidad and Tobago, a pair of beautiful islands in the Caribbean :) . Growing up, I loved the ocean, nature, and creating things. I moved to Egypt when I was younger, and ever since, I've wanted to get to know as many cultures, environments, and most importantly people.
I enjoy innovation and am good with hands-on activities and outdoors work. Currently, I'm studying mechanical engineering where I have a lot of access to design resources and manufacturing machines, so if you have a project in mind that you need help coming to life, shoot me a message!

More details about your skills
I have experience in hospitality, I worked for a year in a restaurant as a Line Chef and a server, also prepping food and making the desserts. I learned about working and communicating efficiently in fast paced environments. I also spent a month volunteering in a hostel, where customer interaction was my main role. I led drinking games and did tour guiding for groups of around 30 guests. I also helped at reception with check ins/outs and did maintenance and cleaning.
I work well with children. I’ve volunteered as an assistant ballet teacher for four years, and also worked at an bungee jumping centre where I was in charge of customer interaction, safety and operation. I also au paired for two children last year.
Over Covid, I started an online small business selling clothing where I learned how to use social media for business, and then used my skills to manage the social media account of a makeup artist’s business.
I am certified in first aid, CPR, and AED.
I can operate an excavator and have cleared roads and helped build car parks with it. I learnt this when I volunteered at a nuclear bunker for 3 months and participated in a lot of construction work to restore the bunker. I also learned basic stone masonry skills and helped give tours during Bunker Open Days.
Currently i'm studying mechanical engineering, where my skillset is developing every day. I can design using CAD software as well as manufacture my creations from materials like aluminium, plastic, and steel. I can use a 3D
I’m a fast learner and willing to help out with pretty much anything, and would be super grateful to learn any new skill :)
