Summary
I am someone who is a hardworking and is willing to learn whatever is needed to be done. I may not know everything there is to know, but I can guarantee that I am someone who will give their best effort to learn as quickly as possible and produce the best results possible. I have a background from all walks. I have spent time as a farmhand where I have worked cattle, given shots, castrated, and have done various farm chores. I have worked as a cook at a high class restaurant and learned all the necessary skills of working the flat-top grill and several other aspects of working the hotline of a busy eatery. I have also worked a summer in a paint shop where I did a lot of painting and learned the basics of drywall.
While I was in high school I was heavily involved in my FFA program where I took an interest in just about everything agriculture related. I took a special interest to forestry where I learned tree identification, forest management practices, plant diseases, and how to work and use the necessary tools of forestry. I was apart of the Forsyth FFA Forestry team in 2022 that won the state contest and went on to earn 5th nationally. The following year I was apart of the Agronomy team where I learned the basics of agronomy and went to state in that as well.
