Summary
My passion for the outdoors has led to the pursuit of higher education in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation. Having at least 10 years of customer service experience has taught me patience and understanding of everyone's needs. The 13 months experience as a park naturalist for Oklahoma State Parks, where we care for multiple reptiles and amphibians, along with providing our community with outdoor education has also had a great community service impact. Experience working in a machine shop led to forklift certifications and focused on learning many safety rules and regulations.
