Description
Hi there,
I am a 23 years old, graduated in june 2024 in Social work.
My plan was to travel a bit and then start the adult life back in Belgium.
Untill I fell in love with Sweden. I ended up travelling throughout Sweden for 6 months in total.
I am now at home and looking at ways how I can move and find a job in Sweden.
I would love to start with a workaway again and slowly integrate more and more in Sweden!
I now have over 10 weeks experience in working with sleddogs and driving myself. I got to see different kennels, breeds, races....
Additionally, I hold two degrees in social work and have completed over 1000 hours of internships with various social organisations. As well as student jobs in the hospitality industry, so I could help out with various tasks! Joining your team would be a dream come true, I would love to talk more about the daily dog routines and everything around it.
Besides dogs, I am very used to working with animals, I have done internships at care farms, my other workaways included dogs, horses, pigs,... . I have been riding horses since I was 6 years old. I have no problem getting my hands dirty and doing what is best the extended family with 4 paws.
I do want to add that I have been practising the language for over 3 months and am planning to become fluent!
I would describe myself as a patient, easy learning person, I am prepared to work and get my hands dirty. I love almost any animal, at home we have a cat but I absolutely adore dogs, donkeys, horses, ... .
In my spare time i enjoy photography, travelling, reading and listening to music.
I studied social work and have quite a bit of experience around kids/youth as well.
My English level is C2, so I should get around easy, I also speak Dutch (I'm Belgian), and understand a lot of French (give me some time and I should be able to speak it again too, I'm just a little rusty on French right now).
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!

Horseriding:
I've been riding since I was about 6 years old, I love a horse thats easy going, but I'm up for a challenge as well. I now mostly ride competition horses (ages between 4-15), and I am used to riding English.
I have ridden Western before on multiple summer camps but am still learning.

I love photography, there's something about capturing a sunrise, a smile, a moment that's just magical. It's amazing to have a visual to go along with beautifull memories.
