Description
Hi, I'm Elettra from Rome, Italy. In 2019 I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and had the opportunity to stay and work on an organic farm near Santa Rosa. In 2020 I worked for two months in Poland, joining three different farms. In 2021 I worked for 2 months in a biodynamic ranch in Colorado and for other 2 months in a bison ranch in Montana where I went back in 2022 for other 3 months and right now in 2024 for 6 months. In 2023 I worked for 6 weeks in an animal rescue center close to Dublin, Ireland. I'm interested mostly in animal care and green building, but I'm open to anything new I can learn.
I'm a hard worker and a curious compulsive asker. I like kindness, but not formality. I'm pretty creative and imaginative, but also precise and careful. I always like to understand the logic behind every action or task.
Skills: apart from graphic and photographic skills due to my job, I'm a tireless digging machine :)
In my previous experiences I have: dug tunnels and compost toilet holes, cleaned chicken coops and collected eggs, harvested fruit and vegetables, cleaned beds in garden, fed horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, bottle fed a bison calf and a baby donkey, took care of dogs, cats and ferrets, cut branches with a chainsaw, dismantled and reassembled electric fences for donkeys, helped building and fixing electric fence in a ranch, cleaned stables, helped with carpentry work, but with a supervisor who instructed and monitored me, helped building a super adobe and corrals, did a stone veneer work on a chimney.
