Description

Hello! My name is Alana, and I am a 25 year old British and French wildlife conservationist/climate organiser/non-profit starter/writer/filmmaker usually based in Kernow (Cornwall), UK.

This autumn, the plan is that I am taking a sabbatical from my job and departing my home country to travel around Europe for a few months, both in periods with my sister (22 years old) and periods with just me.

I speak English, French, and a little Italian (which I'd love to improve).

My skills include:

- Social media strategy, writing, and content creation. My day job is being the Communications and Campaigns Lead for a wildlife charity, I grew their Instagram from 18k to 38k in two years, so if you need help with social media, I can be your consultant :) I can also create content, branding, copy etc. for you. I also grew my own personal YouTube channel from 0 to 18k+ subscribers in a couple years, so can help advise you if you would like to start a YouTube channel. I also have another smaller YouTube channel where I make films/short documentaries about social and ecological projects, which I always looking for projects to film!
- Filmmaking. I have a great 4k camera, gimbal, drone, tripod, microphones, trail camera, etc. with me so can help make films either for my channel (as stated above) or for your own socials. I can help you edit videos or teach you basic editing on Davinci Resolve.
- Community and climate organising. I have previously done freelance work writing reports and creating resources for community groups, organising and hosting people's assemblies, facilitating conversations in these assemblies, and building resilience networks of leftist movements. So I can help with that kind of stuff.
- General knowledge about topics like social ecology, anarchism & leftist political theory, rewilding, wildlife conservation, starting non-profits/coops, other eco/environmental topics, and more...
- Cooking nice vegetarian/plant-based meals
- Looking after animals - cats, dogs, chickens, I have a bit of prior experience with horses but will need to brush up

I'm very much still at the beginning of the learning journey when it comes to growing food/permaculture, so guidance would be appreciated, but I'm very keen to learn more about this world. I'm not the best at super manual tasks like DIY, but I am happy to give it a go.

I have previously stayed at a lovely WorkAway in Italy where I had the best time (and returned), as well as done other volunteering projects in the past.

If you have any questions, please write to me!

Thanks :)
