Summary
I'm 23 years old, I was born and raised in Maine, and I’m looking to find a job on a ranch out west! I’m very passionate about working with horses, and also the outdoors. I’m a big hiker and climber. My dream is to combine my love for horses and the mountains into one. I’m a very genuine, big-hearted, adventurous, and highly motivated person. I love community, and hope to find a place that is welcoming and pushes me to challenge myself and learn new skills. I also hope to make long-lasting connections and find a job that I absolutely love to do!
