About
I really enjoy meeting new people and striking up conversations, whether that be in a pub, lift or waiting for the bus. I find it very easy to get along with all kinds of people and have a large range of interests and hobbies (nature, hiking, dungeons & dragons, photography, picking up trash in parks, painting, cryptozoology, diving, gardening, travel, cooking, etc.). I love a laugh and a good story. I've worked as an Account Manager in advertising since 2016 and for 2022 I decided that it was just not for me and am making a change. I want to live my life making the world a better place and be really proud of what I do. This is why I am going back to university to study Biology (a big passion of mine!) and why I have become a Social Carer! Since moving back to Sydney this year, I've been keen to get back into the world and help out. But also find more time for it and what really matters. I want to make connections in the community and meet great people. I have quite a lot of interests/skills so it would depend! But here are some examples: Gardening: I would LOVE to help out with a garden. Happy to get my hands dirty myself or as a social activity to do together. My Mum has had a large garden for most my life and some of my best memories of our time is just gardening together. I can move soil around, repot plants, water plants, treat for pests and find weeding strangly relaxing. Gaming: I am kind of a big nerd. I love games (video and board games) and even run my own Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) game with my close friends. I would be more than happy playing games with people or teaching new ones. Or talking at length about the world of D&D with a fellow nerd. Cryptozoology: Bit of a random one I know! Think Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster or Yeti. This is the study of monsters essentially. I find it very fun and facinating and would happily wax lyrical about recent Bigfoot sightings to anyone keen. Travel: I love the world, different cultures, cities and environments. I super love hearing about other people's travel adventures. Nature: I love most activities in nature. Walking, hiking, kayaking, camping, travel, etc. I would be always happy to walk around in nature with some one and show off my biology knowledge. Cooking: Some see this as a chore and some as a fun social activity. I love cooking by myself or with someone else. It can be such a great bonding experience to turn a bunch of ingredients into something delicious and then enjoy it. I have a few easy recipes that I'd be happy to teach someone. Pesto, fish & chips, cabonara and mulled cider being some of my favourites! Overall, I am happy to help and make a connection. Hope to hear from you!

I needed help with administration, and sorting pieces on my computer which was taking unnecessary hours and stress. She has also helped tidying and some household pieces. Very talented, resourceful and willing. I also had a lot of disruption in the home, due to a kitchen renovation post a surgery. Megan is very adaptable and kind. I highly recommend Megan.
