Summary

Centered in community care, education, proven stewardship of land care, and dedicated to service in our community and continued excellence in guest service. Dependable and committed to facilitating individuals in the natural world while supporting vital health by utilizing my formal training as a wellness practitioner. Serving the community in past years through hospitality, management, office administration, wellness, and animal/farm care. I am looking toward future positions highlighting community medicine, mental health, local foods, hospitality, culture, and resiliency while maintaining organization, structure, and consistency. The ideal situation would allow for growth and expansion of my own skills including management and customer service, while gaining valuable knowledge from the wisdom of others.
