Description
I've just finished a job in Austin, TX and I'm moving to San Francisco, CA in September to work in accounting / finance. In college I worked at an elementary school as an afterschool teacher for 6 and 7 year old children and also played lacrosse for my University. Born and raised in Texas, I'm excited to learn and experience new places around the world. I love being in nature whether it's hiking, skiing, climbing, or exploring, or anything else. I'm a hard worker in school and enjoy exploring my interests. I played multiple sports growing up, started a business in high school, spent a summer with the New York Times, and became an Eagle Scout. This summer I ventured into computer science and focused on working out. I am open to new experiences, and I'm a quick learner who's willing to help with anything that might arise.

More details about your skills
Wendell- For four years I ran a children's summer camp with two friends. We hosted 25-30 children every year for two weeks of summer that we filled with fun games, activities, and play. I consider myself great around children and love to bring happiness to their day. I worked as a peer tutor during my high school years, interacting and taking care of kids with special needs my age and younger. I learned valuable lessons in patience and care while socializing with these disabled students. I worked in my coach's carpentry shop for two summers helping him get his furniture business up and running. I learned some of the basics of carpentry and helped him set up QuickBooks to keep his accounting records in order. I am also an active participant in debate, traveling to D.C. twice to attend youth conventions where debates from all perspectives took place.
Sebastian- I have been on leadership of multiple retreats for my church and a youth leader for a summer camp of children aged 6-10. I was the captain of my football team my senior year of high school and enjoy participating and assisting in sporting events. I have recently become very interested in cooking and love to cook for friends and family when I can. I am comfortable with any outdoor activity. I enjoy learning through experience and I am not afraid of challenging myself. -
