Summary
Highly motivated and eager to start a career in forestry. With many years of experience in various plant related fields, I will be able to share my knowledge and skills as well as learn new ones. I bring an energetic and positive vibe to the work crew while maintaining seriousness. I am physically fit and can work under harsh conditions. Becoming a vegetation management inspector seems like a perfect fit for me and a perfect fit for ACRT Pacific.
