  • Description

    Someone once asked me, “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” and I responded, “I would never go back to my corporate job.”

    Soon after that I left my job, sold my belongings, and started traveling.

    The purpose of leaving home has been to figure out what I’m good at, where I belong, and how I can leave a positive impact on the world around me. While I don’t have it all figured out yet, I know that my purpose lies in serving others, to hopefully inspire and to grow as a human being. I believe it’s all cyclical and that the more I invest in myself, the bigger impact I can have on others.

    Some causes I care about are ecotourism, women's rights/empowerment, and expanding access to education.

    My preferred method of travel is to get off the beaten path, connect with locals, learn about different ways of living, and give back what I can. All with a smile and attitude of determination :)

  • Quelles sont vos compétences ?

    Hostel Management - I spent five months as a manager at a hostel in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. There I was responsible for all reception / front desk duties. I served as the front of house liaison for guests, supervised the volunteers on shift in the bar and ensured all bar tasks were completed. I've also volunteered in several hostels as a bartender, server, tour guide, activities coordinator, etc. Not to mention my experience staying in hostels as a guest :)

    Yoga Teacher - I have 250 hours of training and demonstrated ability to effectively guide students in asana class and along a Yogic Path. I'm open to all opportunities to gain more practice and experience. Yoga as a physical and spiritual practice has brought me peace and grounding, and I look forward to sharing that with others.

    TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) - Completed online course and received certification from TEFL.org. I'm currently looking for opportunities to gain experience in teaching English. My experience in teaching is in teaching swim lessons to kids aged 4-16. I also took 8 years of Spanish in school, so I have a good idea of how it is to learn a second language.

    Project Management - I have 6 years of experience working on IT projects. Most of these projects were for building new software. I have demonstrated the ability to manage time, communicate, problem solve, think critically, and lead a team. All of these skills are transferable to any type of project. I'm a diligent worker who can manage my time effectively.
