Summary
I recently graduated from the College of Lake County with an Associate degree in horticulture and hold certifications in landscape construction and arboriculture. I have several years of hands-on landscaping
experience, including plant health, disease diagnosis and treatment, operating heavy equipment, non-CDL dump trucks, and loaded trailers. Equipment maintenance, I lead crews
of up to six people during peak season, have a strong understanding of plant health, and have successfully run my own landscape business. These represent only a small portion of my skill set, and I continue to expand my knowledge and capabilities in the field.
