  • Description

    Hello everyone! I'm here to...

    ¡Hola a todos! Estoy aqui para...


    add value and make connections wherever I go.

    to raise our collective consciousness and treatment of this planet.

    agregar valor y hacer conexiones dondequiera que vaya.

    I sincerely find fulfillment in all types of work. I am competent in computer/digital matters and am physically fit for manual labor. While I do not have formal training in construction/landscaping/farming, I am fully willing to learn on the fly and am able teach myself (via reading and watching, bless the internet) to get the job done! I'm also curious to teach English for youth.

    I have 300-hours of yoga teacher training experience and can facilitate mindfulness/meditation/movement classes and workshops.

    Sinceramente encuentro satisfacción en todo tipo de trabajo. Soy competente en temas informáticos/digitales y estoy físicamente apto para trabajos manuales. Si bien no tengo capacitación formal en construcción/paisajismo/agricultura, estoy totalmente dispuesto a aprender sobre la marcha y puedo enseñarme a mí mismo (leyendo y mirando, bendito sea Internet) para hacer el trabajo. También tengo curiosidad por enseñar inglés a jóvenes.

    Tengo 300 horas de experiencia en formación de profesores de yoga y puedo facilitar clases y talleres de atención plena/meditación/movimiento.

    Mindfulness/Meditation/Movement Teaching

    With 300+ hours of training and weekly class facilitation experience, I can lead classes and workshops.


    Caretaking, supportive, healing relationships

    I'm training to be a somatic counselor and have am experienced with building strong, attentive relationships. Skills include active listening, reflection, encouragement, validation, space holding. I also utilize somatic skills like mirroring, sequencing, breathwork, etc.

    Project Management

    I have a system of getting things done and keeping all of the moving parts of any project organized.

    From changing a lightbulb to building out a new system/structure/product, you can rely on me!


    Self-taught & Coachable

    If you need me to do it, I can learn how.

    If you are willing to teach, I will listen, I will ask questions, I will practice.

    Even if there isn't a teacher/precedent on hand, I can educate myself.
    As an avid reader and experiential learner, I embrace the challenge of learning something new!


    Sales & Customer Service

    Whether I am collaborating with a partner, serving a guest, or negotiating an arrangement, I will be present, pragmatic, and empathetic!

    Through years of hospitality and business development, I've refined my skills of listening, questioning, and serving; cumulatively, the art of communication.


    Digital Marketing & Branding

    I can write copy, develop growth strategies, and build on your brand.

    In less than six months, I grew an email newsletter from 0 to 300 subscribers and an Instagram page from 0 to ~2000 followers... this was done through thoughtful/tailored content and direct communication. No "growth-hacking", spam, or ads used.


    Graphic Design

    I've created graphic elements for website, social media, and email newsletter. Ask me for examples and I can share my work!


    Physical Fitness

    Capable and happy to perform manual labor.

    I ran track & field in university and regularly keep up with yoga/crossfit/etc., so I appreciate any opportunity to get up and move!
