About Me
Working every position from Career Camp Counselor to Catering Server to Education Coordinator, my various experiences in industries and people make me a key asset to any organization. Though my upbringing was in traditional production agriculture, I have fallen in love with student education, specifically leadership and workforce development.
I work to continually introduce myself to diverse situations and get out of my comfort zone to learn something new. My “Why” is to help any learners I work with to make a positive impact on our world through service and community.
