Summary

Dedicated Agronomist professional with a history of meeting company goals utilizing consistent and organized practices. Skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations and challenges to best enhance the organizational brand.

I love working with plants and herbs of all kinds.

Have lots of experience with harvesting in the vineyard as well as experience with pruning and gopher trapping and drip irrigation.

Have driven the tractors around the vineyards and I have knowledge of how to mow and dump.

Have one completed semester of wine science and enology in the wine cellar.

I also have a passion for making pasta and Italian food with fresh produce and pairing them with wines.

I also have lots of experience with horses and if the job calls for riding I can saddle a horse on my own to do it .

I'm not 100 percent sure where these skill sets are going to lead but I am looking for the perfect fit.
