About me

Hi! I am an American/Dutch dual-citizen that just moved to Amsterdam to look for work. I studied literature, communication, and culture at University in the U.S. and have an interest in writing/editing, but greatly enjoy physical work as well.

Preferred location

I would like to stay in the Netherlands to volunteer while I look for permanent work.

Skills

I have a bachelor's degree in Science, Technology & Culture from Georgia Tech in the United States. I also have a certificate in psychology. Besides studying literature, communication, and culture, I've worked in trash/recycling/compost, at a hostel, and had a short stay on a farm where the manual labor was very satisfying. I like to learn new skills, meet new people, and stay busy. A friendly place where I can work hard but still write and look for a permanent job on my off-time would be ideal. I am available for flexible dates, but potentially the end of September through November would be best.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, don't have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.

I was a vegetarian for ten years, but recently started eating some fish.
