  Description

  I live on 5 acres with a pond with my two dogs in Lambertville, MI. The property is far off the road, quiet, with a lot of wildlife. We get a lot of migratory birds throughout spring. And there are deer, turkeys, fox, and occasional coyote. I don't have children, but my little cousins are here frequently.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I work in DC in a federal position as a senior economist. I have held a number of economist positions, including agricultural and labor, and also taught for many years. I can offer valuable feedback on career paths and "what to do next." Im not very cool or new-age. I wear a suit to work. But I do love the outdoors abd wildlife. I grew up in Ohio and Michigan, so have the "stick-with-it" mindset that is common throughout the Midwest. Having worked in federal policy for many years, I'm a strict moderate in politics and believe that we as a country need to focus on our shared values and stop allowing politicians, news, and social media to spin narratives that convince us we are divided.

  Aide

  I travel a fair amount for work and could use help with dog sitting and general yard upkeep and mowing around the property. It seems a shame to let a beautiful piece of property sit empty while others could be enjoying. No skills needed, just willingness to be outdoors and a love for animals.
