  • Description

    Hello!

    I am a university student in Canada and I decided to take some time off to travel the world before starting my final year of school. I am a political science major and I love to learn and experience new ways of thinking and living. I wanted to take this time off before starting my career to expand my knowledge and apply new experiences to any position that I take on. I am interested to learn about matters related to the environment and sustainability, human rights, and government policy and systems.

    I enjoy trying new things, meeting new people, and taking on new experiences. I have many interests that I like to integrate into my life. I enjoy physical activity, as I play soccer, exercise daily, practice yoga, and hike. I love animals and have had various dogs growing up, and I never miss an opportunity to visit a farm when I can! I love the outdoors and I am fascinated with nature, I grow my own garden in the summer and have probably watched every documentary on the topic. I am always curious and I love to learn. I am an avid reader (mostly non-fiction), prefer podcasts over music, and am always diving into a new topic. I enjoy deep discussion, a good debate, and hearing different perspectives.

    I am so excited about any opportunity and I am eager for new experiences, people, food, and culture.

  • More details about your skills

    I currently have my own business refinishing and repairing furniture. This gives me the chance to reduce waste by finding ways to make use of old items and offering an affordable option for expensive goods. Through this I have learned about entrepreneurship, I have enhanced my creativity, and gained various manual labor skills. In the past, I have worked as a bartender, a server, and a cleaner for my university. I have picked up many skills throughout my various jobs and experiences, with the most important being my ability to interact and get along with, and connect with people.

    I have worked as a marketing manager, and have some photography, editing, and photoshop skills. I have a basic understanding of most tech and am a quick learner.

    I love kids and have been a babysitter since I was younger!
