Passionate about nature, sustainable food systems, animals, and helping people, I am a well-rounded and experienced individual. Finding fulfillment in a work environment that offers both routine and diversity, I thrive on clear end goals and deadlines. I prefer an active setting rather than being stuck in one place all day, as I enjoy moving around and engaging with various tasks.
