I'm a second year Construction Engineering student at Oregon State University. I've been around the construction industry all my life, first working alongside my uncle, a contractor, in northern California, and then working for a small remodel firm, Associated Homemakers Construction, since summer 2016. In spring 2019, I started my own business building custom planter boxes and raised beds, when work slowed due to COVID-19. I'm currently titled as an apprentice carpenter, and I have skills in the construction field including framing, finish work, roofing, concrete, hardscapes, drywall, and siding.
