Summary

I divide my time between London and the Aosta Valley and would really welcome the opportunity to work in the mountains this winter. I am a qualified social worker with extensive experience in mental health, but I have also worked as an English teacher at the University of Aosta and at the English pub in the centre of town. I am sociable, friendly, and have excellent communication skills. I am confident working in all kinds of situations and dealing with a wide range of challenges. Most of all, I love the mountains and the Aosta Valley and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for them. English is my mother tongue, and my Italian is very good, although not at the level of a native speaker.
