Description

In a nutshell, I’d describe myself as curious, considerate, practical, and fun.
Right now, my destinations arent set, my priority is simply to step out of my everyday life and experience alternative ways of living and working that honour my wiring instead of fighting it. Over the next year or two, I want to figure out where I’ll settle — while I’m drawn to a nomadic life, I’m not sure it would be healthy for me long-term, and want nothing more than community.

I’m adaptable and comfortable in many environments, but my preference is to be somewhere I can connect with nature, reset, and connect with people. What this means for you is that, as long as you don’t task me with screen-based work, I’ll be enthusiastic, motivated, and proactive no matter the job at hand. I'll just be happy to be doing something different and bring a can-do attitude no matter what.

For the most part, I’ve lived in Edinburgh, working in administrative and operational roles (Project Management, Policy, Private Secretary), with sporadic side gigs in trades and, during a sabbatical, farm work and animal care — which is where I’ve really thrived. While I’m keen to put my civil service career behind me, my PM background does mean I’m naturally end-focused, good at planning and problem-solving, and able to bring structure and organisation where it’s wanted. I’m super proactive and good at spotting what else needs doing and how to achieve it efficiently.
