Summary

A dedicated and resourceful professional with 7 years of diverse hands-on experience, including roles in floristry, construction, and plant nursery care. Known for exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. Comfortable working with a wide range of tools and materials, from landscaping and gardening to construction and repairs. As an Eagle Scout, I successfully designed and built a 15-foot bridge as part of my community-focused Eagle project, demonstrating leadership, problem-solving, and project management abilities. I’m eager to leverage my practical skills and passion for working outdoors as a laborer in a national park setting, where I can contribute to maintaining and improving natural spaces while continuing to learn and grow in a new field.
