Summary

I am a diversely experienced and skilled employee who has learned to navigate socially, adapt to new environments, and handle stressful situations through the variety of work opportunities I’ve had. My time in the oilfield allowed me to excel at managing workloads, different jobs, and personalities, which I did under extreme weather conditions and long days while maintaining a positive attitude. As a ranch hand I learned to be a self-starter, self motivated, and how to prioritise tasks. As a ranch supervisor my leadership, communication, and management skills have been honed such that I would be an asset anywhere I worked.
