Summary
As a 14-15 year old I did landscaping around my neighbourhood, mowing lawns, maintaining gardens and helping with at home D.I.Y projects. I highly enjoyed the hands on and diverse work. As a 15-16 year old I became a kitchen hand cleaning dishes, mopping floors and maintaining and clean work space everyday after school. When i finished school i started working at Clearview Winery as the dispatch assistant. Whilst working there i was approached by their electrician, who offered me a job when i was finished with the seasonal work. I started with him in February and finished in late August. While there i was able to learn the basic understanding of electrical circuits, how to safely and effectively use power tools, and how to converse with all people while in work uniform. Since then I've been working at Knuckles LTD, preparing and delivering food for catering events, and school lunches.
