Description

Hello! I'm Emma.
I'm a paradoxical type: fun, but can be serious. Mature, but young. Sporadic, yet thoughtful. Kind and direct.

I love meeting new people, learning about and experiencing different cultures, learning new languages, new skills, and most of all being present to those around me. Helping others is very life-giving to me.

I am a huge fan of holistic/integrated healthcare as I have benefited from it extensively. I am really excited to learn more about sustainable living, farm life, homesteads, herbal medicine, etc. I think the best way to learn is through experience and from those who are already experienced.


I'm really drawn to the Pacific/Oceanic regions and really want to learn more about the culture and languages of these places. I've been learning Maori just for fun.

More details about your skills

I am a hard-working and responsible individual who can thrive in team environments as well as independent work. I do not need much direction and can manage a small team as well.

I have worked in many administrative roles for many different environments: law firms, healthcare, academic institutions, and religious.

I have also worked in many different roles including: data entry, social media, video production, EHS, youth work, and childcare. (I have a lot of experience as an au pair and babysitting/nannying--about 12 years altogether).

I am a certified ESL teacher with about 2-3 years of experience.

I am CPR certified.

I love being outside and enjoy animals, plants, and everything in between! Except bees. They give me a bit of a fright 😂
