From the age of 13-18 i worked for my family's mulch blowing company, Monahan & Sons Mulch. After graduating high school, I worked full time with my family for a year before starting college. The experience and maturity I gained from that one year sets me apart from many of my peers. I worked with/on heavy machinery, learned how to deal with stressful situations, and improved my communication and people skills . Since I've started college I have continued to learn new skills through school and part time work.
