Summary

Seeking work in the Forestry sector! Diverse experiences! Volunteered to help restore Jackson Bottom Wetlands in Hillsboro, Oregon, by removing invasive plants species, and planting native plants. I also worked at one of the largest plant nurseries in the US, in sales, and had to have training on species and varieties of plants, as well as chemical, and non-chemical ways of treating pests, mold, and other harmful things to plants. In college, I took many science courses about plants, soil, erosion, rock formations, and common native tree, and plant, identifications for the Pacific Northwest. Lastly, I love working outside. I have worked with my husband for over ten years with his tree trimming business. There I learned even more about trees and tree health and maintenance, but I also learned to cut branches, and trim trees, for health and maintenance. I also ran chain saws and equipment, and worked in all weather elements.
