Ankeny,IA

Summary

I grew up around people who worked extremely hard, no matter the task. I have a big personality and a lot of energy that can be put to good use. I'm an extrovert and love talking to people, and love when I can make peoples days whether that's by being kinds or being embarrassing so that they have a fun story when they get home. I've learned to fully be myself and to not care what others think about me. It was a hard skill to learn but it makes life so much more enjoyable.
