    From traveling while in college, to bouncing around New England working seasonal outdoor education jobs, to landing in Burlington VT and getting a full time job in higher ed, its been a wild year.

    - Housesat for two different folks (can give ya their contact info upon request)
    - Taken care of winter farm chores such as feeding/water chickens, ducks, sheep, and goats
    - Mucked out a frozen goat pen
    - helped wrangle goats as they got their hooves trimmed
    - put in vole guards around saplings
    - Babysat for a fort loving 3 year old and helped out with a 7 month old
    - Cleared invasive species
    - trail maintenance

I've spent most of the past 9 months being a teacher, leading middle school kids on weeklong field groups in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Cape Cod. I've grown all kinds of vegetables, as well as mushrooms.
