Descripción

I am a hard and skilled worker in many areas of experience. I've earned professional respect in multiple industries, raised a child, created many kinds of art, and supported and cared for people and animals I love. I'm now in the exciting position of being free to travel full time. I've spent most of my life in and around the melting pot of New York City, and that has inspired me to explore the cultures of the rest of the world and contribute my energy and positivity where it's needed. New learning experiences call to me from all parts of the world, and I long to meet new people, learn new things, and share my knowledge and abilities with others.

I have extensive experience in many areas: organizational, clerical, legal, creative, child care, animal care, elder care, building and crafts, cooking and baking, and gardening. I’ve listed the specifics below. I am also a social and understanding person. I enjoy meeting and talking to new people, and working with them.

Artistic and sculptural experience: I've worked with many materials extensively, including acrylic paint, acrylic and eco-based resin, concrete, wood, collage, found materials, etc.
Life experience: raised child full time (11 years), gardening (primarily vegetables & herbs), baking and decorating cakes, many types of needlework (knitting, crocheting, quilting, etc.), carpentry and repairs, art of all types, taught classes in greenhouse gardening to 5th graders. I’m comfortable with both hand and power tools. Also comfortable with computers (PC and Mac), and both digital and analog creative tools and materials.

Travel experience
I've been to many states in the USA, traveled in Canada and Mexico, and many of the Caribbean islands. I spent two weeks in New Zealand driving from Auckland to Queenstown, hiking on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, climbing Mount Sunday and other wonders. Most recently, I spent 10 weeks in Scotland, hiking the 97-mile West Highland Way, and traveling the islands and mainland, staying in 29 places (22 of them hostels).

Other volunteer experiences
I have volunteered my services as a legal assistant to prison inmates for appeals, and other individuals in need of paralegal assistance for personal or business reasons. I was part of an activity group consisting of disabled and non-disabled adults and children. I volunteered in my community with various environmental groups doing clean-up, recycling, maintenance, and education. I volunteered at my local library teaching crafts and letterboxing, and at the elementary school teaching several sections of greenhouse gardening to 10-year-olds. I have also volunteered at soup kitchens and second hand sales for charity.
