Summary

I’ve always thrived in roles that challenge me to think critically and lead with confidence. At Knelsen Sand & Gravel, I focused on improving project quality and ensuring compliance, while also fostering a strong, problem-solving team dynamic. From streamlining assay validation processes to planning strategies that boosted efficiency, I enjoyed finding solutions that made a real difference. Whether it was leading by example, staying physically fit for demanding tasks, or helping my team grow, I’m proud of consistently delivering results that exceeded expectations.

Travel/World Experience

I've spent nearly 4 years of my adult life traveling around the world experiencing different cultures and expanding my views. Having now lived on 5 continents since graduating high school in 2011, I've been able to work a number of different jobs and gain a wealth of knowledge that isn't readily available. 

Hiking/Outdoor Activities

I love spending my spare time out in nature and it's lead me to experiencing incredible adventures like walking for 40 days across Northern Spain on The Camino de Santiago, hiking 5 days through the Andes mountains to Machu Picchu, summiting 7 volcanoes throughout Asia and Latin America, and so much more. The challenge of these physical feats is what keeps me coming back for more.
