Description

As of September 2026 I am traveling in the UK and working on an Outdoor Education Teaching Certificate! I am coming back to workaway after a period of not traveling (hence an inactive account and my 0% reply rate😂) and am excited for my next adventure:)

I am also a multi media artist, Pre-K teacher and nature/ocean enthusiast. My passions have taken me all over the world and connected me with some incredible people and unforgettable memories along the way:)

Skills/Experience:
Animal and farm work from cats and dogs to alpacas and goats, Teacher, nanny, waitress, camp counselor, water sports (kayak, SUP, snorkel, scuba, 6m boat), mural artist, and more, I am quick to pick up anything I set my mind to.

I've always been drawn to animals and the outdoors so I am currently transitioning my work towards Forest School and Farm School!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Although I have many skills and passions, I most enjoy working outside and with people! I've always felt more at home in nature and knew I would never lead a "traditional" 9 to 5 job behind a desk. I come from an arts background an am a creative problem solver in any new task I take on.
After graduating with a B.A in Art and Theater from Marymount Manhattan College, I realized I wanted to use my creative skills for more than art hung in a quiet gallery. I started teaching art classes and camps for kids, Yoga classes for adults and eventually Preschool in Chicago! I loved leading a Pre-k classroom because I could freely incorporate art, music and creative thinking and positively impact young minds.
However, when the pandemic hit in March 2020 my school closed and I had to re-evaluate my priorities. An opportunity came to homeschool 1st grade students in Oahu, Hawaii and I simply had to go! Along with teaching, it was an unforgettable year of new experiences including farming, hiking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, scuba diving, sailing and more! My time on Oahu reminded me that my dream life is out there as long as I take the chance:)

Autres infos...

My favorite thing to do in my free time is try new things! Whether it be a new food, hobby or experience, I love taking risks and being surprised. Some favorites include: learning stand up comedy in Chicago, Lyra and Aerial Arts in Honolulu, selling everything I have to travel solo, learning to read tarot cards and becoming a certified scuba diver in Hawaii Kai.

Skills I plan to learn include archery, beekeeping, foraging, next level cooking and sailing!

The ocean and being outside are also very important to me. I'm used to spending the day outdoors biking, walking and swimming whenever possible!

I reached out to Liv as I needed a muralist and I certainly was not disappointed. Liv is such an artistic soul, weather was against the outside murals initially but Liv jumped in to other tasks happily. Liv made a selection of double sided cloth serviettes, helped make up and package product, she and Andrea even put together a simply instructional … read more

I spent just over a month at Mikki's and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her and her family are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home (specifically with a glass of rakija). She also takes many workawyers at a time so you form a little community, you are never bored and working alone! My primary job was painting murals … read more

Olivia came for the ingest 2 months ever. Lol. She was to stay to just get away from covid and ended up-staying almost a year. We both just kept extending it. Lol.

She helped play with my little one while educating her. Even after school and on her own time she’d ask to take ayla on adventures. She is an angel. She’s been gone about a year now … read more

I don't even know where to start, staying with this family truly opened my eyes and changed my outlook on life.
