Description

Hi! I am a 30yo from New Zealand who loves adventure, meeting people, new experiences, and am ultimately driven by making the world a better place - vocationally in an environmental context.

I have a degree and several years experience as a mechanical design engineer working on a variety of projects around the world. However I also love to explore the world in my own time and have spent half a year chasing the monsoon in kayaks in India, a couple months kayaking on the White Nile in Uganda, several ski seasons in both Canada and Europe, and spent half a year surfing my way down the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Peru.

My intention with these arrangements is to meet interesting people, and contribute where I can to tangible outcomes that make a difference for people and our planet. I am in the process of redirecting my career towards environmental conservation and am particularly interested in the marine environment. I would love to gain hands-on experience in this space as. I am also interested in small scale energy projects and land conservation that directly impact small communities.

Aside from a professional background, I grew up in NZ where DIY and hard work is part of the culture. I am familiar with most tools and can figure out novel solutions with the resources on hand.

I always like to learn a bit of the language where I am travelling, and am happy to share my own (English), although some people find the New Zealand accent difficult to understand

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Being from New Zealand, DIY runs in our blood and getting our hands dirty and backs sweaty is part of growing up. I'm no stranger to a skill saw, drill, or hammer, though also not a professional - she'll be right! I have a general comfort with exploring nature, can have a chat with pretty much anyone (assuming we speak the same language), and possibly some academic skills from my engineering and consulting days.
