More details about your skills
My parents raised my siblings and I with a strong work ethic. I started babysitting around my neighborhood at 10 years old and have continued to do so ever since. Additionally, for family friends and neighbors I have house and pet sat for multiple days/weeks, I got my first full time position as a party host and camp counselor for an event facility in my hometown at 15 years old and worked there for five years.
During my University experience I had two internship summers at a public accounting firm that I then accepted a post graduate job at. I worked at the public firm for 4 years before deciding to quit and chase my dream of seeing the world!
I grew up participating in volunteer opportunities as often as I could. I was a Sunday school teaching assistant at my church for three years. Went on various volunteer trips which included building houses in Mexico, hosting day camps for children in Montana, and helping on a farm in Washington. During my University time I was involved in preparing low income tax forms for individuals that needed assistance completing them. I also participated in smaller volunteer opportunities as they arose, such as taking inventory for a food shelter, making and serving kids breakfast before school, and serving food at homeless shelters. Volunteering is a big part of who I am and how I grew up so I continue to look for ways to volunteer where I can!

What else ...
I love playing and learning new board and card games! My current favorite is garbage/golf/uno as those are easy to teach people from other cultures and fun to play. My hobbies also include reading, hiking and sports.
