Description

Hello! I'm a 23 year old from the USA who recently left home to help others bring beauty into their lives (and consequently into mine), make friendships with unexpected people, and to learn about new and beautiful places around the world!

I love to make art, garden, harvest, cook, and create peaceful spaces. As I travel I'm hoping to learn from and about local practices, cultures, and environments.

More details about your skills

I have spent the last year on a 30 acre organic farm to table establishment learning how to tend a greenhouse, compost, harvest, and cook for a busy seasonal kitchen. On top of that I got experience making friends with livestock, giving tours, event planning, environmental education, and community outreach. I also learned about landscaping and crafting beautiful spaces, working with and deeply understanding what certain plants are capable of. In college I studied Environmental Studies and Biology, took care of exotic animals and plants, worked in several restaurants/food trucks, and volunteered for local schools and organic gardens.

I have also spent a lot of my time helping family with construction projects and home renovation, making pottery, and caring for peoples homes and pets. Since graduating I learned how much I crave being outside working with other people and especially with plants!

Meeting people and making friends is what makes work worthwhile in my opinion. While I work hard, I also love to play hard -- I take pride in what I produce but I've learned it's equally as important to bring a light personality into any working space :)

What else ...

I have worked many different jobs and am flexible for both the type and intensity of workload required for your projects. I'm excited to learn about how people live and work in other parts of the world!
