Description

ENGLISH
Hi! I'm Mik and I'm from Aotearoa (New Zealand). I'm non-binary and use they/them pronouns. I love nature and being part of projects that look after the environment and the planet. Community is very important to me and I love the sense of belonging and support that comes from living in harmony with others.

In the last 10 years, the majority of my work has been with children. I have a passion for alternative education. In my last job, I had the opportunity to work in a forest school - I fell in love with this way of learning and teaching! Alongside working with children, I have volunteered in lots of permaculture, earth building and garden projects. I love working and creating with the earth.

My hobbies include playing guitar/ukulele, hiking, crafts, writing and reading.

I am very excited to support you with your projects with all of my love and energy!
