Summary

I've been raised on a farm all my life, attended an agriculture school where I further expanded my knowledge in agriculture as well as my academic background. I have worked unpaid for mechanics and auto electricians to expand my knowledge in what career I would expand into, which then led to me becoming an apprenticeship automotive electrician. I am a highly- motivated, hardworking Farm Hand with experience operating wide range of agricultural equipment such as tractors, Tele-handlers, utes and trucks. Prior experience at CBH has allowed me to gain experience about the industry and the process that is used to grade our grains. I enjoy taking on new challenges to improve myself and work to better myself in the agricultural industry. I have a strong work ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. I adapt quickly in new work places and effectively when given a task to complete. I have customer service skills, can multitask and am able to manage my time efficiently to get the most for my employer. I am devoted to giving every customer, employees and employer a positive and enjoyable experience
