Working 💼
In 2014, I started working for my parents on their farm during the summers when I wasn’t in school 🚜 In 2017, I switched to Lifeguarding at the Imperial City Pool 🌊 Throughout my university career from 2019 to 2023, I had a series of internships and part-time jobs as a web developer at FarmAfield, a teaching assistant in a software engineering course, and a graphic designer at Mystic Rhoads Productions 👨💼 Once I graduated from university, I started freelance developing for Wallin Farms and freelance graphic designing at Mystic Rhoads Productions. 🌽 After 2 months of job search, I was hired by Sandhills Global as a Software Developer Intern.
