Summary
Professional agricultural worker with proven ability to manage farm operations efficiently. Strong skills in crop management, livestock care, and equipment maintenance. Team-focused, adaptable, and consistently delivers reliable results in dynamic farming environments. This is where I spent most of my early work career developing my skills in team managing, training, feed managing, and learning to properly run and maintain heavy equipment. It's what shaped me to be the hard worker I am today. Working for the roads department taught me to operate different equipment including trucks and semis that helped me get my Class A CDL. Working at the locker provided me with an alternative experience. It taught me to work very efficiently and effectively as you were always on a never ending time crunch. It also helped me develop my customer service skills and proper safety standards.
