Additional Information

I frequently have taken jobs that are seasonal and allow me to travel frequently. This past summer I have completed a full thru-hike of the Appalachian trail I started at Springer Mountain in Georgia (March 29th,2022) and hiked all the way to Mount Katahdin Maine (September 30th, 2022). Many of these seasonal jobs have taught me to work hard until the job is done and I am very passionate about everything I put my mind to.
