Descripción

Doing my part to create a more sustainable and conscious way of living for myself, my loved ones, my future family and the collective is what motivates me most and brings me the most joy. I am on a journey to find my next home, learning as much as I can along the way.

I am traveling around the world, working on farms, eco projects, retreats and learning about permaculture, herbalism, organic farming, alternative ways of working, animal care, sustainable building practices, holistic nutrition, all things DIY and so much more.

I am inspired by all things homemade and aspire to make and grow all of my own food, wares, home goods, art, etc. I love to create with my hands and I love being in the dirt, directly connecting with the Earth and all living beings. I am happiest when eating locally sourced foods, working with herbs, exploring someplace new, reading, being in awe of nature and being a part of a healthy, driven, loving community.

Que habilidades tienes?

I have volunteered in community gardens and local youth programs while living in California. I've worked in childcare in several capacities for 12+ years as an English teacher, educational assistant, camp counselor and nanny. During my travels I have extended my knowledge of farm and gardening work as well as animal care. I am an incredibly tidy person who loves beautiful spaces so I am very proficient with cleaning, organizing + decorating. I love to work with my hands, building + creating in many different ways.

I pride myself on my work ethic and am a diligent worker, clear in my communication and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
