Description
Hello! My name is Isaac and I am a caring, passionate and life-loving person.
I recently achieved a bachelor's in Philosophy and having worked as a personal care assistant to a man with cerebral palsy and a man with dementia, I am applying to med school! However, before I start this long journey towards becoming a doctor I want to gain some travel experience, surf, and develop my Spanish. I want to do this through Workaway because it will give me the opportunity to contribute to the place that I stay, giving me a deeper experience of the community there.
I have a wide array of experiences and skills that could help me help you with your project. Here are a few...
