Description
Hi! I'm Ellie and I'm from Virginia. My dream is to explore the world while getting to meet amazing people from all over and learning new skills! I love doing anything that allows me to be outside and doing physical activities that challenge me. I spent a summer in Arizona working as a camp counselor in 2022, so I have tons of experience working in childcare. I pick up new skills really fast, and am always, always eager to learn more.
I have just finished my first full season of farming at a 25 acre organic vegetable CSA farm in Amherst, MA, (as of November 2024) so I have a good bit of experience and knowledge with farm work and growing food, but there's always room for me to learn more. Earlier this year (in 2025), I spent around two months working as a forager in Pennsylvania. I really enjoy trying new foods and cooking/baking for others'. I'm a writer, and I've recently been getting more into photography as well!
Also, I love to dance! I'm excited to explore different styles of dance in different places, and have discovered that it's a great way to meet local people in the community too.
