Summary
Motivated and dedicated professional with extensive experience in customer service, sales, project management, and outdoor conservation. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and in a wide range of situations, developing strong communication skills, professionalism, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. As a Project Manager, I have gained valuable leadership, teamwork, and organizational experience while managing crews, coordinating projects, and ensuring deadlines were met safely and efficiently. Combined with my hands-on work experience is a lifelong passion for the outdoors as an avid hunter and fisherman, as well as experience interning with the Minnesota DNR Enforcement Division. My background in public interaction, leadership, problem-solving, and natural resource stewardship has prepared me to serve the public effectively and succeed as a Conservation Officer.
