Summary
Growing up on my family farm has encouraged me to 'get my hands dirty' and become fully involved in the work I take part in. I am a fast learner, who when given a chance exceeds expectations. I enjoy being challenged by new obstacles and being pushed to the limit. I consider myself confident who is able to work independently as well as part of a team.
