Description

Hi Everyone. My name is Stefanie, and I am an 19-year-old student currently pursuing a part-time qualification in “Landscaping”. I have always had a deep passion for landscaping, horticulture and agriculture, the outdoors, tourism and beautiful landscapes which led me to embark on this journey.
Also, having a passion for people means I have a deep and genuine interest in understanding, connecting with, and positively impacting the lives of others. It goes beyond a general liking for social interactions and involves a sincere desire to help, support, and empower individuals to reach their full potential.
Although my work experience may be limited, my enthusiasm and eagerness to learn make me an ideal candidate for a Workaways experience. I am driven by the desire to gain practical experience and develop my skills in a real environment.
