Maria Katharina, sitter in Eastbourne BN21

I am a multilingual (English, German, Italian and Spanish) master student in Tourism and International Development at the University of Brighton and completed my BA (Hons) Tourism Management degree at Staffordshire University.
I love children and have therefore worked a lot together with children: I was a children and sports entertainer at an Adriatic Seaside Camping I prepared games and children's day time and evening activities as well as running the kids club.
Also during my time as a receptionist and supervisor in a 4* Family Hotel I met children from different age groups. Furthermore, I sometimes helped out in the Kids Club (children from 0-14 years of age) and created the children's weekly activity programme.
I also worked as an Au Pair in London, looking after a 2 year old boy, cooking and completing some light housekeeping duties.
As you can see, I love children, and decided therefore to participate in a volunteer project in Huaraz-Peru where I was working with children and teenagers, as well as with severely disabled people and was organising after-school and weekend activities as well as taught them some basic English.
Through my vast experience in the hospitality sector I worked together with children a lot and was able to develop strong interpersonal and communication skills. I was also leading a youth group "Jungschar" in my hometown for seven years.
I am also a very musical person and play the clarinet and flute and was a member of the youth band, choir and the traditional music band in my hometown for many years.
