More details about your skills

Since I left high school I have worked different jobs and supported myself while studying at university. Besides studying photography and working as a freelancer, I have worked in retail and hospitality.

My first job in a pottery studio I was in charge of front of house, I did admin for social media accounts, mailing lists and the website. I also helped with DIY projects like fixing up old furniture or painting walls.

Besides working in retail I have worked in cafes, restaurants and hotels. In my cafe jobs I would serve costumers, make coffees (I can do latte art), prepare food and take up cleaning responsibilities.

I am primarily a photographer, however I have a love for art and crafts in general. I take up art projects whenever I can and I love to experiment in different mediums.

In the summers I have taken extra jobs like house cleaning, helped my uncle build a deck once and I have worked on farms.

I come from a family of gardeners and I have always helped from time to time. At home my dad taught me how to cook and always encouraged a helpful attitude around the house. I participated in doing chores and fixing stuff whenever possible.

Additionally, I grew up with a dog and a few years ago I took care of a few reptiles. Over the past few years, while in Edinburgh, I have been doing dog and cat sitting. I’ll take the dogs for walks, sometimes they spend a few days with me at a time while I look after them.

I play the violin and like to sing. I also love being outdoors so I hike, love going for long walks, cycle and go wild swimming. I pretty much enjoy any reason to be outdoors.
