Descripción

I am a nature lover, adventurer, artist at core, and a people’s person. I love to explore new cultures, learn from each experience, and share my own skills and passions along the way. I have zero problems with hard work, as I am no stranger to lending a hand. I’ve dedicated time to charity and volunteer work, and therefore see the value in giving back. I truly do thrive in the company of others, and find joy in the simple act of making new friends. Photography means a lot to me, not just a way of express but a way to connect with people, to tell their stories, and to share the beauty of our world. I will be traveling with my photo and video gear and am happy to create content for social media or websites. I'm a ski instructor but also love surfing, skating, and anything that requires a ball, racket, or club. Ready to learn, happy to help, and inspired to teach, I embark on this Workaway journey with an open heart and mind, and a commitment to making meaningful contributions.

Que habilidades tienes?

I’ve been fortunate enough to live in four different countries, U.S (Birthplace), Germany (Nationality), China, and England (University). As a result of moving around a lot my education mainly took place at international schools. After completing the International Bachelorette I've become even more confident in my English skills, and would gladly teach at beginner to intermediate level, likewise for German. Last year I decided to end my arts & design studies at Central Saint Martins to focus on my documentary photography.

I’ve done my fair share of volunteer work, which began with flee market sales in 2018. Where we annually sell used cloths and children toys to raise money for a local children’s hospice. The flee market unfortunately didn’t take place the last two years and therefore I decided this year to sell off some leather camera straps I made and donated all profits. I’ve volunteered at a food recycling facility for the homeless, where my role was unloading the “expired” heavy crop baskets delivered to us by local supermarkets. In 2020 I co-founded a non-profit environmental protection organization that focuses on planting algae for Co2 absorption, although we work hand-in-hand with the researchers my role is creative director and my specialties lie in the media creation to help spread awareness.

In terms of more typical jobs, I worked in the movie industry as a production runner. I was working 10-14 hour days alongside two other female runners. I was assigned a large sprinter to drive that had built in accommodation for the actors. I was under the supervision of a production manager, and was given tasks such as setting up communal areas, keeping actors on schedule, running basic errands, and of course chauffeuring. Although this job was very laborious I enjoyed every minute of it. I‘ll also throw in that I briefly did some event management, throwing party's with around 80-200 people. Not too long ago I briefly worked with a creative studio / media consultancy / advertisement firm to get a more inside perspective of the industry. The last two years I've focused more on my freelance photography alongside my role at our non-profit organization "Sea Habitat".

I have experience in painting, restoration, and carpentry. A year ago I began leather crafting, started off by making simple belts, then learned to hand sew, and currently am learning to pattern make. Gardening for me is also a form of therapy, from trimming back hedges, to cutting trees with my grandpa for fire wood.

I have a passion for absolutely anything hands on, technical, or artistic. At the age of 11 I began teaching myself photography. Since then I’ve moved onto many different art forms, such as jewelry making, sculpting, working with clay, mesh, and wire. Photography and videography is something I’ve been very consistent with, including a on-going interview series with international artists, event photography, and recently exhibiting my Bulgarian photo series at a gallery in Hamburg, Germany.

To sum it all up my greatest skill is learning more skills, along with my organization. I approach things with an open mind, open to peoples values and traditions. Most importantly I am disciplined, I know when to work and when to play, meaning I‘m honest and have a strong sense of fairness.
