Descripción

I am 25 F, a curious and passionate traveller who thrives in community environments where I’m able to serve a cause my heart is behind. I graduated from UBC with a bachelors in environmental sustainability, and have been extremely passionate about nature and animals from a very young age. I have 15 years of experience working and volunteering at various animal shelters and pet service industries caring for dogs, cats, birds and many other animals.
I am also an artist and classical/modern musician who loves to sing, play piano, and create artwork to share with others. My other interests include spirituality, yoga & meditation, reading, and outdoor recreational activities.
My previous experiences with work exchange have allowed me to experience a very intimate connection to the community and culture of wherever I am travelling. It is incredibly fulfilling for me to give back to a community which inspires me and aids my growth, and because of this I consider myself to be a very loyal and hardworking volunteer.

Cuidado de animales

Que habilidades tienes?

I have 5 years experience teaching and coordinating youth programs related to animal welfare education while working for the BCSPCA. During my time here I taught groups of ~25 children ages 7-15 about animal behaviour, training and welfare. I was also responsible for leading a team of 4-5 employees, delegating tasks and building class schedules.
I also have experience working in the pet services industry, leading packs of 6 dogs (all various sizes, breeds, and behavioural issues) on 90 minute off-leash hikes. I also offered private walks for dogs with behavioural issues, working on redirecting negative or dangerous behaviour and practicing commands/building positive habits using positive reinforcement training.

I also have 3+ years experience working in the customer service industry, working in retail as a sales associate, as well as working in the food services industry.

Currently I woke remotely and am self-employed, teaching english classes to international students online.
