Description
Hello! My name is Nita and I’m so excited to join the Workaway community. While I’m new to this platform, I’ve been dedicated to volunteering and helping others since I was 10 years old and that passion has only grown with time. Whether through my professional roles or in everyday life, I’m someone who loves being in service, building connections, and contributing to something meaningful.
I have a B.A. in Psychology from a University of California school and a wide range of experience in fields like mental health, public health, disaster recovery, nonprofit work, and community development. I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages and backgrounds, supported people facing housing instability, coordinated events, and offered direct support to individuals in need. I also have years of experience in customer and client service, where I’ve helped people feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I have a passion for community building and bringing people together. I’m energized by group projects, shared meals, and moments where people come together across cultures or differences. I enjoy gardening, cooking, and learning new skills alongside others. Whether it’s helping with day-to-day tasks, greeting guests, organizing a group activity, or digging into a community garden, I'm always up to support in whatever way is needed.
I’m based in Los Angeles, California, and I’m a native English speaker. I understand Spanish at an intermediate level (and am currently taking lessons to improve) and also know some basic Hindi and Tamil.
In my free time, I love dancing (Salsa, Bollywood, Bhangra), hiking, traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with people from all walks of life. I’m open-minded, hands-on, and excited to grow through shared experiences.
Thank you for reading my profile. I would be honored to support your project and contribute wherever I’m needed and bring care, energy, and heart along with my skills.
