Beschreibung
Hi! My name is Em Katona. I am 22 years old and I recently graduated with two degrees in Psychology and Expressive Arts Therapy, which now gives me the open time to start my WorkAway journey. My core principles are to experience, learn, and appreciate as many cultures as I can, connect with people, and expand my global perspective.
For the majority of my life, I have prioritized travel. I've visited several countries, but would like to see more of the world before I ground myself in a profession. When I was in college, I studied in Italy for two months, which was my longest immersion in another country. I fell in love with the locals, the regional food, and the slower pace of life, it completely turned my perspective upside down as someone that grew up in the fast pace culture of the US. Given that the politics in the US do not align with my morals, I'm seeking to find people that uplift diversity, health, equality, and human rights.
I have a plethora of experience with several types of jobs including nannying/caregiving for over six years, food service, hospitality, and creative arts. I am heavily driven by the ideology that humans are nature rather than a species experiencing nature, thus influencing my advocacy for environmental protection, limiting plastic use, less meat consumption, and lowering my carbon footprint. Since I've been living in the city of Boston for school, I have not been surrounded by the outdoors as much as I crave to be. I am open to learning more about environmental up keep such as gardening, landscaping, planting vegetables.
My strengths reside in my communication skills, empathy, curiosity, respect, and constant openness to knowledge. I am a fast responder to messages and love speaking with people in general. As someone in the LGBTQIA+ community, I am looking for likeminded people that support all forms of identities. I am open to all opportunities, if that ranges from hospitality help, to environmental upkeep, to childcare.
I am an extremely respectful guest that prioritizes cleanliness and abiding by the rules of the space. My roommates have often claimed that I am tidy, quiet, communicative, and organized. I like to call myself a Chameleon, as I will blend in to the boundaries of an environment as it best fits our coexistence.
In my free time, I enjoy long walks, hiking, writing, reading, crafts (such as clothing customizing, drawing, painting, sewing, etc.), listening to music, and conversing with new people. I would love to form genuine bonds with my hosts and learn more about their lifestyles, passions, and home. I am so excited to enter this new chapter of my life!

- I love to listen to music (soul, funk, rock, alternative, jazz, etc.).
- I do love wine as I have taken a food anthropology class in central Italy where I learned a lot about natural wine making.
- Currently writing a book and it is now my passion project so I'm putting some time into that.
- I love to cycle, I have a bike path near my house and can happily go on for miles and miles.
- Dancing is huge to me as an expressive human that prioritizes movement, silliness, and fun.
