Summary
I'm a seasonal forestry technician for the Pennsylvania DCNR. The season runs from March to November. I am passionate about forestry, but this leaves me an opportunity to grow at another seasonal facility. I have snowboarded since I was young and I have past experience working at a ski resort.
