  • Description

    Hi:-) I'm currently studying Environmental Anthropology for my Masters in London. In the summer I'm traveling to India for my thesis fieldwork on a river restoration project. From there I hope to travel for a bit.
    I've studied Anthropology for 4 years now and I can say that it has changed the way I perceive and reflect on the world. I am very open-minded and love meeting new people. I'm easy going but a hard worker and I like to put effort into things. I am lucky enough to say that traveling has been a constant in my life from a young age. I've lived in many playes; Austria (my home), in Chile for a year at age 15, in Iceland for a semester, India is my second home, and I can't wait on exploring more.

  • More details about your skills

    In Vienna I had a beautiful garden for one year in which we planted lots of beautiful plant and fruit friends. I have some farming experience, since my grandparents have a farm and I have spent many summers there since I was little. I am very eager to get my hands dirty on a farm.

    I have many artistic skills, that I love to live out creatively, but also in form of home decorations and renovations. I love working with children and I have been tutoring children and teenagers in Maths, English and German since I was 17. I play the piano and I have a passion for languages.

    Since I went to a technical photography high school, I am skilled in computer and camera technology and many Adobe programs (like Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Premiere Pro, etc).

    I have worked in a ceramics art shop, where I worked and painted with children and adults and was responsible for keeping the place tidy and clean.

    Most recently I have been working in different academic assistant positions, so my management skills are growing by the day:) Also, in this last year I have philosophised a lot about humans and nature and capitalism and colonialism and structural inequality and us humans just having to wake up from this fever dream of 21st century! please teach this little anthropologist a real life version of change.
