Description

Hi there. :)

My name is Clare, and I'm 31 from the UK. I've worked in office based jobs most of my career, and after training to teach yoga, dance and fitness, I want to curate a more meaningful life away from the screen.

Am currently looking for volunteering opportunities worldwide - for new experiences and to make a positive impact in the world. I feel strongly that being immersed into another culture gives you much more empathy, understanding and humility. I love organisations that connect grassroots with larger organisations and government, to affect real change. In the UK, I see this impact through documentaries; and whenever a local community is featured I think "I want to go there and help".

I'm thoughtful, fun, open minded and hard working - enjoy working as a team in a sociable atmosphere, love all things performance, music and creativity!

Aptitude for learning new skills. As well as office based roles in marketing, I've spent years working in events, hospitality, customer service, teaching and coaching all ages from young children to adults.

Would specifically love to be hands on with animals, so any opportunities where you have a farm, or conservation project, I'd be over the moon.

Thank you for reading about me, happy to chat further, and look forward to meeting you!

More details about your skills

General Skills (professional):-
Marketing Strategy; Events Management; Teaching; Motivation and mentoring; Communications; Digital Marketing; Working with children; Dance; Yoga; Fitness; Customer Service; Teamwork; Office Admin

I'd like to think I'm quite resilient and adaptable, happy to do a variety of tasks. Am into healthy eating, especially veggie/vegan - I promise anyone, you can cook a tasty meal without animal products ;)

Qualified Yoga Teacher as well as Group Exercise (which I use to teach dance-fit). While life can get stressful at home, I am a believer in the Yogi way of life, and enjoy meditation, mindful walks, and connecting with people.

Love working with people, have a valid DBS police check so can work with children, plus lots of experience in customer service and hospitality, as well as in tourism, so could certainly support in any of these roles.

I'd love to get involved in projects that are away from the computer screen.
