Horse riding
My whole life I have owned horses and cared for them on my family's farm. I have for years cared for them in many ways. Such as de-worming as needed as well as frequent grooming and riding. I cannot remember a time when my family did not own horses and they are a big part of me becoming the person I am today.
Additional Information
At first I may be a bit shy as I acclimate to my workplace and get to know my fellow teammates however, I never let that affect my ability to provide the best experience for our customers and clients as possible. I'm always open to constructive criticism as this field is the field I plan to be in for the rest of my life and I strive to excel everyday.
