Summary
Driven by a deep passion for trees and plants, I am seeking employment in garden centers or nurseries as I transition into a plant-focused career. While this represents a shift from my background in Culinary Arts, I bring with me valuable skills in teamwork, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic—qualities that are easily transferable to the horticulture field. I am currently pursuing a Biology transfer degree with plans to attend a four-year college. I believe success in any role stems from a willingness to learn, collaborate effectively, and consistently strive for excellence.
