About me

Hi my name is Valentina, I've just graduated in Environmental science and politics at the University of Milan and I'm going to study Functional genomics.
As can be seen from my studies, I am very into science and the environment, in other words, I'm interested in nature and its functioning as a whole.
In my daily life I work as a babysitter and tutor kids, and I have to say that I'm pretty good at relating to children, maybe because I grew up with my brother, sister and cousins. I must admit that one of my weaknesses are animals, I like them just too much, especially since my little dog Lucky came into the family.
I have always been doing sports since I was little (also played football whit boys for a long time), and at the moment I am improving my climbing skills which is a lot challenging, both physically and mentally.
I am planning to open an online shop to sell all my chores which include ear jewelry necklaces but above all my crochet works.
I'm pretty outgoing and of good company, I like to get to know new people, culture and do new experiences
It may sound strange but I really like studying, reading and learning new things, not necessarily related to my university studies, I like being able to keep my mind open to new points of view and being able to possibly discuss them
I learn very quickly so I'll be glad to try new things and and get out of my comfort zone.
I have sometimes been told that I am a cold blooded animal because whatever I do is important for me to do it outdoors, especially in the sun,
One of the characteristics that I like most about myself is that I can always find beauty in all situations and I am very grateful for everything that life allows me to experience
In other words I am a rather simple person who tries to enjoy life

Skills

I worked as waitress but now I'm a babysitter and I tutor kids. These kinds of experiences have made me very sociable and able to understand when there is a need to lend a hand or take a step back.
I graduated in Environmental science and politics so I know (hopefully) a lot about the planning and development of sustainable projects.
I have always been doing sports since I was little so I have a fairly sporty body but I am still a tiny girl, so not so helpfull with heavy trades.
I love animals of all kinds and types.
I am creative and have great problem solving skills and in general I am always available to lend a hand or learn every kind of new stuff.
I'm very outgoing, determined, coherent and I learn very quickly.
I hope I can help out as I can

Additional info

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