Summary

Highly motivated and extremely hard worker. I have been doing lawn care since I was 12. Started moving my grandparents' yard, so my grandfather didn't have to after he got home from mowing the parks around Walla Walla. By the end of summer that year, I had mowed a total of 10 yards for my grandparents' neighbor in Country Estates. I've always loved doing yard care and have continued doing yard care for family and friends. Most of my experience was from my grandfather and self-taught. If something comes up that I'm not experienced with, I will educate myself until I feel comfortable doing it. I have taken an ecology class at WWCC and at WSU. Most people think I'm a little OCD when it comes to lawn care. I find groundskeeper very comforting and therapeutic. I am always excited to learn more about plants, whether it is a flower or weed.
