My time at canal barge has been great. I have learned many new skills, and I have grown overall. Not just as a worker, but also as a person. My duties at Canal Barge are to keep the vessel clean, build tow, line handling, make locks, teach new employees, paint the vessel, safety meetings, assist in fueling the boat, safety drills, and to log in safety meetings and supply orders into computer. Also at the end of every hitch we get a performance evaluation and I have yet to receive a negative evaluation.

Insurance was a career I thought I wanted to pursue, but I learned that the job was not for me. Although my time there was short my duties there were to sell life insurance, health insurance, and to sell life annuities.

During highschool and college I was self employed. I did yard work during the summer such as cutting grass, weed eating, landscaping, and managing properties.

During the winters of 2020 through 2022 I worked at Sugar Bears Deer Store. At Sugar Bears Deer Store my duties were butchering meat, processing meat, customer service, keep store clean, and to teach and assist new employees.

I worked as an assistant electrician while figuring out what career I was wanting to pursue. My time at Booker Electric was short but I learned and did many tasks. Such as, Electrical work, cleaned shop, assist electricians, and buy supplies for job.
