Summary

I love challenging myself and have a drive to learn, listen and obtain new skills and experiences, benefitting myself and the organization I am working for. I strive to provide a hardworking culture to any team I am a part of, learn from others, along with one of inviting collaboration and compassion. From working Construction, to being a Line Cook, to making my own woodworking products in high school, I have enjoyed the variety and engagement of previous work experiences, and I am excited to dedicate myself to future opportunities.
