About me

I am 27 years old and come from Belgium. I am currently living in Cologne, Germany, where I have been working for 2 years. I have a master's degree in modern languages (German and English) and didactics. After my master, I did a postgraduate studies in Business communication in a Dutch-speaking college in Brussels.
I am very eager to meet new people and speak foreign languages. As regards my personality, I am flexible, open-minded, reliable, solution-driven, a good listener and eager to help.
In my free time, I enjoy very much dancing (modern dance, dancehall...), jogging, cycling and doing pilates. I like going to music festivals and reading books in English. One of my passion is baking, I love to test new recipes and enjoy them with my relatives, friends and colleagues. Cheesecakes and cookies are my favourites ! In addition, I like cooking and tasting food from all over the world.
I strive to a balance lifestyle with harmony of body and soul and am looking to learn new skills while discovering Spain from the inside

Preferred location

Hi there, I have just spent 2 years working in Cologne Germany and I am now looking for a new experience in Spain to discover its warm and colourful culture and to improve my Spanish skills. I will be free from October until before Xmas.
I am looking for small jobs in order to learn new skills and to meet nice people. I am looking forward to hearing from you !

Skills

I am a French native speaker and have majored in English and German and possess a teaching certificate for these languages. I have taught pupils and have also supported pupils that needed schooling support.
I have also studied Business communication and media planning where I worked on communication projects for real companies. Hence I am able to think strategically and target-oriented.
Currently, I am working as a project manager for an online language school and am able to work hard and efficiently on any project with the client's satisfaction as a priority. I have also worked 1 year in the customer support of this same company where I developed the skills required to handle clients' questions and problems. I am a hard-worker, service-driven and highly flexible.
As a student, I did some small jobs such as working as a waitress for a catering-company. I have also done the washing-up in a restaurant in France. In addition, I also worked as a animator for small groups of pupils in order to train them and to entertain them. Last but not least, I have already worked for a swimming pool where I was in charge of the cleaning of the changing rooms, showers and dorms.
One of my other experience was as a hostess for conferences of the European Union. I welcomed guests and worked as a reference for any requests they had.
Now, I am willing to bring out my skills in any way that would be needed for you !
