More details about your skills

I have grown up on a farm my whole life, this included manual labour both with and without livestock (fencing, driving machinery, cattle/ sheep work etc.). I have always been surrounded by an array of animals like dogs, cats, horses, sheep and cattle.
I worked in Ireland at a dairy farm in 2020, this is quite labour intensive (lifting heavy feed/ milk bags, spreading silage bales multiple times a week). I also worked with an elderly couple as they lost their carers during Covid-19 so my responsibilities were house work (cooking and cleaning) as well as garden maintenance (mowing lawns, upkeep of garden beds etc.).
I attended university in 2021-2024 where I studied Coastal and Marine Science full time while working hospitality jobs as a waitress/ barista. During the last two years of my studies I also took up house and pet sitting which I have enjoyed very much !
During my university degree we had the opportunity to go to Fiji and experience a cultural immersion program for two weeks. We lived in a Fijian village for a week with a host family. We were exposed to the changes Pacific Islander people were facing due to climate change, this was extremely eye opening.
Another opportunity we had with my degree was to undertake an independent group research study at Norfolk island where my group chose to assess which coral species were more susceptible to algae growth. This entailed spending hours in the water diving and collecting data for a week before presenting it to our class, lecturers and local people from the Island.
I would say that I am physically fit and healthy and definitely up for a challenge if need be !!

What else ...

I like to be creative so I try to paint and draw in my spare time. I would love to learn an instrument one day ! I have started indoor bouldering about a year ago and love it, I think it is an awesome way to meet people as well as a fun way to exercise!
