Summary
Through my experience in hardscaping, backyard remodeling, and general construction labor, I’ve built a solid foundation in physical work, jobsite safety, tool use, and working as part of a crew. These hands-on jobs taught me how to follow instructions, read basic blueprints, and stay detail-oriented on projects that require consistency and hard work. My time in construction has motivated me to grow further in the skilled trades, develop new technical abilities, and contribute to long-term projects. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and ready to bring a strong work ethic to a company that values growth and teamwork.
