Description

I am a British ex pat and have been either travelling or settled for longer durations in either New Zealand or Australia for the past 11 years. I am now also an Aussie citizen and have been based in Sydney for the past 6 years.

I love to travel, animals, the countryside/bush, nature, hiking, the ocean, health and wellness and generally exploring. My passion for animals meant I grew up surrounding by dogs, geese, chickens, tortoises, leased a horse for a little while. We grew up near the country where we spent every weekend camping and being around nature.
I have volunteered in a big cat conservation and rescue park in South Africa, and in a rural hospital in the Phillipines.

I lived in rural farming country for 3 years in New Zealand, running a countryside cafe/wedding venue and making life long friends with sheep and beef farmers and spending all my spare time helping on their farm for fun!

My background is in nutrition, and I have been working as an academic in nutrition and behavioural health medicine for the past 6 years. I recently because a Doctor (academic) after completing a gruelling 3.5 year PhD. I am therefore wanting to reconnect with nature and recharge my mental batteries with another volunteering experience.

I miss animals and nature every day living in Sydney, and am in a constant battle between choosing to work in the job I love or being in the locations/around the surroundings I want to be in. My dream one day is to own a hobby farm of my own and be able to have my own animals and make my own honey and cider for fun!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Happy to get my hands dirty and muck in with pretty much anything!
I have sustained a bunch of sports injuries over the past 5 years but most are in recovery now so I would say I’m fighting fit for most manual tasks.

Past work experience:
-Scientific academia and nutrition lab
-Barrista/cafe and wedding venue manager (helping out with the onsite family horse trekking business on their busy days)
-Healthcare
-Sports nutrition
-Personal trainer
-Hotel reception and team supervisor

Personal experience:
-Solo lease of a horse for 2 years, all tasks relating to this (mucking out, grooming, riding, poo picking in the fields, feed and water)
-Helped for fun on a friends farm in New Zealand: mustering sheep and cows with dogs on horse back and on quad bikes (note-I would need to scrub up on riding manuals), feed and check on rescued calves and lambs, check in birthing sheeps in the paddocks, sheep sorted for docking and sheering.
-Helped out with local horses where possible in exchange for ridding
-Regularly care for people’s dogs
-Great cook and keep my home clean and tidy
-General DIY tasks (painting etc)
-Like to keep fit with hiking, cycling, weight training etc.

Eager to learn more in agriculture and build new skills in things I havnt done yet!
