Description
Being outside, adventure, and nature... specifically mountains, bring me by greatest bliss. I love to feel life coursing through my veins when I get up in the early mornings, go explore outside, run, experience the magic and endless possibilities of the day. My feet always guide me where I need to be, and that is the most beautiful feeling of all. Plus getting my hands and feet dirty and climbing trees and or anything in sight!

More details about your skills
I have done many things in my life so far.
My professional background has been varied. Primarily, I have a background in education and communication. I've been an English instructor and consultant in numerous roles, as well as teacher, tutor, and even caretaker in special education. I've been an academic program advisor for a reading and writing development institution. On top of that, I've more recently been in internal communications. Before and in between these things, I was and am a farmer and have worked on quite a few farms and small-scale market gardens (biodynamic and organic operations), and permaculture projects. Additionally, one of my most beloved positions has been as a Gong Fu practitioner (serving and providing traditional Gong Fu Cha tea ceremony) in two reputable teahouses, as well as for a period of time having my own tea business. Furthermore, I've also worked in an apothecary, making medicines, and providing support to others looking to heal naturally with herbal medicine. The healing arts hold a special place for me. Fun fact on that note, when I was 13, I became a certified Reiki practitioner and started working on people in my own practice.
Moving to the academic side of things, I have done two different BAs, one in English, the other in Linguistics, as well a (Research) Master in Linguistics and Communication.
I am happy to provide further details on any of my skills or experience for these things.

What else ...
I love climbing! I have endless energy and love to be active. Movement is my medicine. I do about everything under the blue sky! I enjoy long distance cycling and bike touring, as well as hiking, trail running... more recently, I've gotten into Qi Gong, the aerial arts (Lyra), and fire spinning to name a few.
My passions (!) are to continue to learn as much as possible about farming, gardening, and land management within the realms of sustainable agriculture/ permaculture, construction (earth structures), all things bush craft, and continuing developing my knowledge of herbal medicine.
Working with the earth is what makes me happy in a nutshell.
