Summary
In the past I have extensive farm hand experience. Including working with livestock and there nutritional needs. As well as the biosecurity importance when working on multiple different farms. I cared for animals in the pet store that I formerly worked at as well as cleaned various parts of the store including the different animals pens. I also have experience in food service and sanitation. But most of my knowledge is Agricultural related as I am involved in multiple Agricultural extracurriculars such as 4-H and FFA. From those programs I have learned the true value of hard work and I have used those skills and applied them to my jobs in the past.
