Summary
I worked via an unpaid internship through Froland Farm Boutique/Zimmerman Floral to build my skills as a florist in the fall of 2024. I was able to work on a multitude of different arrangements and bouquets and begun to learn the inner workings of the floral design business. This fall I began per diem work as a floral design assistant at Garden Gather Floral in Big Lake, MN - mostly working in the assistance of wedding florals and design. I have a passion for this industry and find this work satisfying and it really helps to fuel my creativity. I am dependable, creative and flexible and want to make this my long term career.
