Isabella Evans
Middletown,RI
Summary
Very friendly and hard working, am able to pick up new tasks very quickly and always excited to learn new things. Lately I've felt like ive been ending up at all the wrong jobs. When all I really want is to just get my hands dirty and work hard. I work very well with others. I'm responsible, care about what I do and I just want to do it well. I don't mind working in the rain, snow or heat. If you dress right you should be fine. Ive been told I'm a very hard working, always have a positive attitude and im good at what I do, whatever it may be. I may not be the best with words but I can work with my hands, Ive always been a hands on kind of gal. Out of high school my goal was to join the army and become a military cop, I graduated basic training and made it to my additional training but unfortunately got injured. Im trying to find my place in this world and how I can give back, and where else is better then feeding the community with healthy vegetables.
