Description

Hi! I'm currently working as a consultant based in Lilongwe, Malawi. I've lived here since April 2021 and it's my current home away from home (from California, US originally).

I’m looking for a fun, educational, healthy adventure where I can support conservation or wildlife protection/rescue/care efforts. I'm also interested in supporting starter organizations with program management skills including administrative, financial, and technical support work.

I have travelled to 46 countries and lived in Vietnam, Laos, Poland, Myanmar - each for 1-3 years. I love to travel, meet new people, tell stories over a beer and engage in adventurous or athletically driven exercise! I am down to hike, kayak, riverwalk, snorkel, build, garden, and pretty much do anything that is outdoors, involves thought, imagination, laughter, and teamwork! I can work solo, but prefer a team.

My mom used to be a professional house painter and I would always help out in the summer, so I’ve learned a lot of tricks for home upkeep, repair and don’t mind putting in the hard labor.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Professionally, my trade is more academic as I’m a lawyer have worked in international development (program management for projects on combatting environmental crime, anti-corruption, rule of law, monitoring environmental projects, etc.) for the past 8 years. I can help your space with anything administrative, financial, technical (writing, research), etc.

However, I have always been drawn to the outdoors, backpacking, camping, exploring, and observing. I love anything that has to do with water! I started a community garden at my law school (from conception, materials, building, bylaws, upkeept, etc.) so I am generally familiar with organic farming practices.

Autres infos...

I like to be social and will always add humor to a situation, but I like some space to reflect solo as well. I like reading historical fiction, adventure, fantasy – usually anything with a vivid description of an intriguing universe will draw me in. I love a good holiday where friends/family get together to talk about life, drink libations and be merry. That said, I want to use this workaway as a time to get healthy. I like cards and board games and also pub games like table tennis, darts, foosball…and “real” sports too! I used to play water polo at a high level, also soccer. I enjoy tennis and other hand eye coordination sports. I can walk/hike for days, but I’m not a runner.
