Destyni Ikard
I’m a hardworking and dependable recent high school graduate with experience in construction, masonry, retail, customer service, coaching, and social media. I’ve learned how to work with different types of people, handle responsibility, and stay focused in both fast-paced and physically demanding environments. I’m an Honor Student, former Student Council President, and OSHA 10-Hour certified through my two years of masonry training. I’m a quick learner who takes pride in doing my work well and is always willing to learn something new.
