Descripción

Hi there! My name is Julia and I am a 22-year-old American girl living in Phoenix, Arizona - although I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. I currently work as a manager at a fast-casual restaurant here in the states called Chipotle. When I am not working I enjoy hiking, going to the gym to lift weights, being outdoors, listening to music and going to concerts, and whatever sort of creative activity I am interested in at the moment (right now, it's crocheting!).

I had my first workaway experience in September of 2022 when I volunteered for 3 weeks in the countryside in Ireland. I completed my second volunteer stay just a few months later in the Andean region of Peru. I found both experiences to be life-changing (as well as the experiences I had solo traveling in between volunteering!). After I returned from Peru, I moved across the US by myself to begin a new job in Social Work, specifically behavioral health case management. I quickly found myself miserable at my job and wanting so much more out of life - desperately missing the freedom of traveling and gaining new knowledge and experiences out in the world. So, I left that job and returned to restaurant management where I knew I would be able to save money more efficiently and be happier in my work-life balance. I have been saving up to travel again and complete more volunteer experiences later this year, and I have never been more excited!

While this is just a brief introduction, I would be happy to provide more information or fun facts upon request.

Que habilidades tienes?

I have about 4 years of customer service/hospitality experience - over a year and a half of those being in management. Throughout my childhood and previous volunteer experiences I have gained some gardening and farming knowledge (I worked with an irrigation crop in Peru for the first time). I used to babysit/childmind frequently as a young teen and did some assistant teaching at my primary school while in college. I have my degree in Criminal Justice and worked for a year in Pretrial Services at my county jail back in Ohio. This combined with my experiences in behavioral health has provided me with a good amount of experience dealing with mental health, crises, and other trauma-related situations.

I am a good communicator and find myself to be a natural leader. I am easily adaptable to my surroundings and love to learn new skills. I have many other "random" skills, I can cook as needed (used to be a kitchen manager at my restaurant), clean, organize, etc. Really, whatever you need from me - I will find a way to make it happen!

I plan to travel and volunteer for the next year or so, beginning in the summer of 2024. I adored my time in Ireland and will be returning there first, then on to new adventures!
