Description

Currently on the road exploring New Zealand in my campervan.

I’m an active and adventurous person who loves the outdoors and creating new memories and making new connections. The last months I enjoyed hiking multiple mountains, surfing the waves, exploring hidden gems, meeting new people and trying new foods.

Coming from a fruit orchard family and growing up on the fields, I’m a very hands on person who is not afraid of getting my hands dirty and being outdoors in various weather conditions. Being trained in hotel management and accounting broadens my skillset in multiple departments.

Before coming to New Zealand I worked as a Personal Assistant to the CEO of a marketing and branding company.

More details about your skills

I’m a very hands on person who finished an apprenticeship in hotel management in Germany (covering various departments such as Service, Housekeeping, Marketing, Accounting, Kitchen, Sales) and absolved an additional training in accounting while working as a full time Personal Assistant to the owner of a Marketing and Branding company where my focus was on any inquiries from my chef (groceries, travel planning, car service, etc.) to administrative tasks for the agency in multiple departments ( Human Resources, IT, Accounting, Recruiting, Facility Management, Legal).

While growing up on a fruit nursery, I helped my farther on minor tasks such as fruit picking, cutting trees, cooking marmalade, cashier and service in our annual booth where my mom used to cook apple pancakes alongside me and various other smaller tasks.
