MY STORY
Personal Profile
There are so many people in the world who never have the opportunity to pursue the career they love. I’m not one of them. I love what I do and since starting my Internship with 4-H in Lauderdale County, Alabama,  I’m excited at how much I've learned from the people I've worked with and the programs I've helped run. I know that I still have a lot to learn from others in the recreation industry. I’m a hard worker, a team player and excited to see where my skill set would fit into your recreation program.
