Descripción

Hello! My name is Katie and I am a recent college graduate who wants to travel, explore, and learn new skills before committing to a career. I have been house sitting and volunteering around Europe for several months and now plan to head to Australia for a year on a working holiday visa.

I studied ecology and sustainability and am passionate about healthy and sustainable living. I am excited by projects with a focus on sustainable agriculture and animal care. I've also worked in customer service / food service, enjoyed my experience and would be happy to continue in that line of work. I work hard and am willing to take on any odd jobs, especially anything that involves being outside, animals, or art.

Que habilidades tienes?

I am a good communicator, both written and verbally. I have used my communication skills coordinating a food distribution program at a local non-profit battling food insecurity.
I have experience with animal care and plant cultivation. I have worked in a greenhouse for three years at the University of Minnesota, primarily handling barley. I frequently dog-sit and have volunteered at humane societies since I was 18.
I have customer service skills gained from being a server at an assisted living home's restaurant-style dining room for five years. I also have worked as an interpretive guide at a natural history museum, explaining and expanding on the exhibits.
Edad

26
Algo más...

One of my passions is art and I frequently paint. I also love writing and would be happy to assist with any art or writing based projects.
While most of my experience with animals is working with dogs, I have also worked with horses and am an intermediate rider who was taking lessons in dressage several years ago.

I can highly recommend staying at Elke's farm. As someone who has hosted dozens of workawayers, Elke is adept at making volunteers feel at home quickly. My friend and I stayed for a bit over a week and very much appreciated Elke taking us on last minute for a relatively short period of time. The work was very fair and enjoyable if you like to work … read more

Katie was a superstar volunteer, hungry for the experience and work, respectful and easy to host. She was a really quick learner and would often grasp a task and start doing it before we were finished explaining! She worked well both independently and with the team, always striving to be helpful and on task. Katie was physically fit and capable … read more

I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. I stayed for one month and had the opportunity to meet some truly great people and learn more about organic farming. This was one of the most positive workaway experiences I’ve had and I was amazed by how quickly the time passed.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Eva and Stephen’s farm; I’m so grateful that I messaged them and came to stay. They hosted me for a total of nearly a month; originally for two weeks and then they were gracious to welcome me back for another couple of weeks when my travel plans changed and I was looking for somewhere to go. I … read more

I spent just under two weeks with Okan and his family and I highly recommend volunteering here. There were exceptionally welcoming and kind, making me feel like a member of the family.

The profile description is accurate – I’d work with roughly a dozen kids split into three hour-long classes. I was a bit nervous to teach, not having formal … read more

I spent two weeks at Agnese’s home and it was a very positive experience that I would 100% recommend. She was very kind and welcoming from the first day and is a very good communicator, from before I arrived until I left. I especially appreciated her flexibility with our work schedules. She trusted us (me and the other workawayers) to plan our own … read more

Katie is exceptionally competent, caring and conscientious. Besides having a strong work ethic, she is a delightful person to be around, always cheerful and ready to help in any way.

We would be pleased to have her back. I'm sure every host she visits will feel the same.

I highly recommend coming to this host! I stayed here for two and a half weeks in September and could not have been happier with the situation. I was fortunate to come at a time when fruits and vegetables were getting harvested and I had plenty of delicious, fresh food to eat. Everyone I met was exceptionally kind and fun to be around.

Katie is a keeper! I wish I could bottle and share your intelligence and optimism as she does when she is on your volunteer team! I was fortunate to host Katie - she has a "can do" attitude, strength and skills. She was happy to do hard manual labor with irrigation, paint, clean, and lovingly care for animals. Katie is a great conversationalist … read more

This was my first Workaway experience and I was fortunate to come to this place with great, genuine people! I had an awesome time here, they made me feel at home right away and would go above and beyond to show us volunteers good hiking and beach areas.
