Descripción
Hi! My name is Emmeline! I'm a 26 y/o volunteer from the New York City. I am friendly, adventurous, independent, and always willing to learn and try new things! Living in the city, I don't get to experience as much nature and I would like. I love to be in the mountains, on the water, in forests, etc. I also love to work with children and tend to animals! An ideal WorkAway for me involves a balance of solitude or quiet among nature, and the social experience of working with others and learning about their culture. 😊
My previous WorkAway experience includes working on a farm in Sweden, where I improved my Swedish language skills and worked with gardening and animals, (sheep, cattle, ducks, rabbits, chickens...) and also a stay at a monastery in Norway, where I assisted with planting, housework, and painting (and helping to build a new church), and working with horses and doing gardening work in Poland.
In addition to farm, livestock, and gardening experience, I also have several years of experience working with children! I am kind, friendly, social, enthusiastic, and very hardworking.
I worked as a writing and speech tutor at the University of Minnesota, where I graduated in 2021. The students I worked with needed help with their English, as it wasn't their first language. I am a very kind and patient tutor, and really enjoy helping others to learn. So if you are looking for a bit of a language exchange, I am a great candidate to help teach English!
