Description

I am a positive, energetic and enthusiastic individual who loves plants, animals and getting to know new people and places. When I put my mind to something, I give it my all! When working with others, I strive to encourage the whole team while doing a good job on my own tasks, leading by example. Recently one of my fellow mountain bike coaches commented that she thought that I was the human embodiment of a Hallmark card, always joyful and making those around me happy.

More details about your skills

I have experience working on an organic farm and ranch during high school, and help to maintain my family’s chicken and duck flock, along with our small orchard. I worked with dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs while volunteering at an animal shelter for the past couple years, helping people find the right pet for them and socializing with the animals. I love pets, especially big dogs! Additionally, I have worked with kids as a swim coach and mountain bike coach. Fixing bikes is something I enjoy immensely. I am currently taking a five month outdoor leadership course in Northern Patagonia, Chile and am a certified Wilderness First Responder.
