Description
Hello! I'm Piper (25F), creative, curious being, and traveler from the USA. I feel most motivated when I can contribute my attention to detail and interdisciplinary thinking to organizations and communities, and I find fulfillment in seeing other people apply my ideas to their own directions.
My academic background is in economics and linguistics. After finishing university, I lived communally in New Orleans (USA) and worked in the International Services Office at the local medical/research university for 3 years. Prior to that, I was a personal assistant in psychiatry, as well as hospitality/service industry.
I love trading skills! I would be excited to share my knowledge about swimming and water safety (competitive swimmer for 11 yrs, lifeguard for 6 yrs), sewing/tailoring/textile repair (9+ yrs), as well as cutting hair (9+ yrs).
Other skills I've picked up along the way:
- Painting/wallpaper/surface finishes
- Catering/large food service kitchen work
- Pet sitting
- Housekeeping/hospitality
I love meeting new people, and I cherish the ways that my travels have shaped me. I've lived in Finland, Panama, and several parts of the USA (so far), and visited many, many more amazing places around the world. I’m especially drawn to places with a strong sense of community, ecological values, and creativity. I value opportunities big and small to exchange, learn, and contribute.
In my free time, you can usually find me:
- Partner dancing (most experienced with east coast swing and two-step. Would love to learn anything you got!)
- Repairing/tailoring/sewing clothes for friends and acquaintances
- Browsing the Internet Archive
- Watching lectures from International WikiMania conferences -
