Hi, everyone, I'm Tom. I'm a Senior UX/UI designer from Poland,  with 5+ years of extensive experience in various domains, currently based in Warsaw, Poland.

Hello everyone,

 

My name is Hayden and I am located in South Africa in a city called East London. I love beach walks, swimming, researching and Springbok Rugby.

 

I commenced being an Online English Tutor at the beginning of this year which I am thoroughly enjoying.

Prior to that, I have in worked roles from Operations Manager to Specialist Medical Representative in the UK over the years.

Hard work and dedication enabled me to succeed in the job roles I have held throughout my life.

I also volunteer at my local RSPCA on Sundays to help along, I love animals, it's just so sad to see all the unwanted ones sitting in cages, wish I could take them all home.

 

I am hoping for support from the community, hopefully to improve my prospects on Upwork. Help sometimes with iussues or queries I am struggling to solve. 

 

When it comes to inspiration, that would be my country. We have been and are still going through a lot of turmoil and issues.

We trying to break through the divides that face us and learn to live with each other in harmony.

No matter what, I love country. 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Hayden Brice Hanafey

Hello All! My name is Avonelle and I'm a newbie to this community. I've been a nanny for the past 10+ years, but have been working with children for much longer in different fields (teacher, substitute teacher, youth leader, etc). Currently I live in Rhode Island. Since a child I have been writing and it's been my passion. Last year I completed my first novel and am now in the process of finding an editor. I'm hoping to learn how to navigate and win clients on Upwork from other members. People who are highly motivated and disciplined inspire me to adopt those characteristics for myself - sometimes I can be lacking in those areas. Glad to be here! (Sorry his was kind of long!)
