Description
Hello I'm Nel! I'm currently finishing up my bachelors in anthropology this upcoming May.
I am looking for an opportunity post-grad to travel, adventure and integrate into a new pace of life. I want to soak up any skills I can, particularly in sustainable farming, environmental preservation projects, art projects, and any language/cultural exchanges. As an anthropologist, I am well equipped with knowledge (and a BIG passion) of how to integrate into other cultures. I find it so enriching to be granted the chance to connect with people from different walks of life.
A little about myself..
I am a former dancer who returns to movement regularly. I practice yoga and meditation daily. I am a well seasoned hiker and camper.
I am currently interning with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, helping with invasive species removal and preparing for our upcoming prescribed burn. In addition to my internship, I work in a vintage clothing shop on the weekends, so I have experience in customer service and business.
I have a vast horizon of artistic interests, writing, dance, fashion and visual art. I love talking ecology, my relationship to nature is super important to me. I'd love to work in an environment where I can maintain these artistic relationships.
As a bonus, I've done ample research on Indigenous populations in Latin America, so I am really interested in this area !!!
I would also really love to learn and improve my Spanish through immersion!!Interests

Thank you for all your beautiful work and for being apart of the family here at Urban. We were lucky to have Nel join us for a month here at the hostel and oh what a month it was. She was very quiet at first and over time I watched her flower and become a true member of our team.
