  • Description

    I have been working on a cotton farm for the last year, as I am very keen to work in the agricultural sector into the future. I enjoy practical work and get great satisfaction from finishing projects big and small. I love my crafts and dedicate a large portion of my spare time to crocheting, cross stitching and similar projects.

    I have been working towards moving to the UK for a number of years and am very excited now that I have the funds to do so. I intend to travel around the country in my time there whilst working, earning and learning as much as I can.

    I am particularly drawn to open natural spaces (one of the reasons I love farming) and am a keen walker and explorer of hills.
