Description

Hello hosts and Workawayers!

Although I’m Canadian I have been living in other countries for the past ten years and my passion for travel has not lessened! I recently finished my master’s degree in Intermediality in Scotland and now I am living in Italy. I moved to Italy to experience a new culture and learn the language (and because I love Italian food, of course). I’m currently teaching English online, but I’m keen to get into the non-profit sector and use my skills to help people and organizations thrive. I would like to use workaway to combine my love for travel with my desire to collaborate with others to create, support, and grow communities. Travelling is a wonderful privilege that gives me the opportunity to learn about different cultures and expand my perspectives to include new and different ways to see the world. I am always open to listening and learning, as well as sharing my own experiences and knowledge with others. At the end of the day, all of us have more things that make us similar than make us different, and focusing on those similarities is what brings people together. I look forward to the adventures and opportunities that workaway will present!

I can help people learn English, as I am a trained English teacher and that is my current job. I would also love to improve my Spanish and Italian and to learn new languages!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I studied English literature in university and I have a TEFL certification. I've done Cambridge English exam prep at a private language school in Italy and I’ve also taught English online for 4+ years.

I have a lot of experience working with children. I've taught children English in person and online, and I coached children aged 2 to 8 in soccer for 6 years in Canada. I also worked at a children's horseback riding camp for 5 summers, which gave me experience working with horses as well. While living in Mexico I coached soccer for children aged 6 to 13 (in Spanish).

In my last volunteer experience in Uganda, I facilitated leadership, team-building, and communication workshops with the staff. I also ran creative workshops with the children that focused on self-expression and confidence building. I have a MSc in Intermediality, which explores the use of different creative media (film, literature, poetry, painting, music, etc) and how they interact with one another. I used intermedial frameworks to structure these workshops and encourage creative thinking and problem solving.

Physically, I am a very active individual and I do a variety of sports and activities (soccer, volleyball, pole dance, yoga). Soccer is the sport I've played for 20+ years, including on my university teams in Canada and Ireland.

Autres infos...

I love reading, writing, and watching movies (especially ones based on true events). My culinary skills are mediocre, but my eating skills are top notch (again, another reason why I moved to Italy). A perfect night for me includes good friends, laughter, chocolate or a variety of snacks, music, dancing, and games (that will increase the laughter, preferably).
