Summary
An energetic and positively driven individual that strives to do things right. Good communication skills and the ability to engage with people on most levels. I thrive in a positive team environment and welcome the challenge of a busy and interactive workplace. My current dairy farm role has taught me to become reliable and not to be afraid of hard work in harsh environments and has given me structure and dependability with the "get the job done" attitude. Currently seeking a full-time position locally.
