Description

Hello! My name is Roos, 26 year old woman from the Netherlands.Last year, I graduated from my Master's Philosophy of Contemporary Challenges at Tilburg University. I spent the last semester abroad in Istanbul, where I lived for nearly 4 months. I love traveling and meeting people with all kinds of different backgrounds and cultures. I feel privileged in my right to travel, so as much as I like exploring new places, I love to contribute too to local initiatives. That's why I'm interested in traveling with Workaway, so I can enjoy while contribute and meet new people!

One area of interest is community projects, aimed at (artistic) community building, sustainable development or outdoor renovation or building projects. I would also love to work at an NGO project, that is aimed at empowering people, connecting different cultures and/or providing humanitarian relief. I am open to lots of different positions, mostly feeling part of a team and taking responsibility in contributing to a collective good.

I am humble, grateful and a fast learner with a curious mind. I believe I am full of empathy and I'm good working with people, always aiming to empower my friends and loved ones in their own strength. Moreover, I am a hard worker, with lots of experience in the field of hospitality, event organization, cultural programming, office work and outdoor physical work. I would love to learn new skills on projects.

I currently work for a theatre in my city in The Netherlands, where I engage with developing public outreach and (artistic) community building in our public space! I love to be part of an artistic community, especially more cutting-edge or experimental performance arts. In the past, I worked as office manager and later as producer for a big opera production on the countryside. For the latter, we built the entire site, including setting up big tents etc, so I'm used to some physical work and also love being outdoors :)

I am open to staying for both long and short-term projects, and would love to connect to engage in further contact!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

When it comes to working experience, I mostly have experience in the field of hospitality (working as a waitress and host in bars, café's and restaurants) and doing office work. For my most recent work experience, I coordinated the front office and Boxoffice of a theatre, overseeing a small team of employees and working tightly with the other staff members. I have taken up skills in planning, overseeing various responsibilities, event production, customer service and handling payments. Moreover, I took up these skills in the context of a cultural environment.

The theatre I worked at, was more or less a cultural hub and safe space for people with different cultural backgrounds, gender identity and other identity intersections. I truly value a workspace that similarly offers a place where they can develop their skills within the safety of respect to their diverse backgrounds.

Both in my work and personal life, I believe that I have a good feeling for working with people. These were always the part of my job that I loved the most, connecting with the people and helping them where possible. I am sensitive to cultural differences and always open to learn about new perspectives.

Autres infos...

I mentioned some hobby's in my general description (reading, making music, drawing, cooking, visiting museum, going on hikes). Specifically, I love reading novels or philosophy books, playing the piano or singing and jamming with friends, drawing portraits, cooking vegetarian food and hosting my friends for dinners at my place, and visiting art museums or historical/cultural sites. When I find the time, I also like to go for a run, biking, swimming or do some yoga. And I love just being around people and joking around :)

As a student, I held special interest in topics of feminism, vulnerability, political community and human rights. This is something I want to keep learning about, both by doing research, gaining hands-on experience and meeting people with interesting stories and personal specializations and knowledge.
