Additional Information
From a young age a strong work ethic was instilled within me. I grew up working on my family farm, raising livestock, playing sports, and being a leader in many different clubs. I have a love of learning and am eager to try new things, no matter how scary. I have a great sense of humor, and have a love of strong bonds through work and outside friendships. While I have never had my own business I have always felt compelled to and have a self starting fire within me. I am a kind, empathetic and companionate person, I know I could be a great addition to your team!
