Hi! My name is Ayla and I love the outdoors, sustainable agriculture, veganism and meeting new people. I'm working on learning Spanish, but unforuntalty rural upstate NY is not the best place for conversation practice. I'm hoping to find somewhere where I'll have the opportunity to practice speaking Spanish while also experienceing a new adventure. I’ve also been working with rescued farm animals for the past 6 years and have experience with visitor experience, animal care, barn/grounds maintenence, and team management.

More details about your skills
While working with rescued farm animals, I’ve gained a lot of experience with animal care (feeding, administering medical treatments, and understanding animal behavior, illnesses, etc). In addition to this I’ve helped with barn cleaning and grounds maintenance, as well as interacted with the public while giving tours. I've also tended to a community garden with the help of a few friends/neighbors. I am flexible, hardworking, and have experience working outside in all temperatures.
