Accomplishments, big and small have brought to me to where I am and I am always striving to give of my best in all that I do.
WHY I LOVE WORKING IN THE FORESTRY SECTOR
I didn’t find forestry, forestry found me. The last 13 years has broadened my knowledge about the industry immensely. So now I get to do accounts and step out into the forest every now and then which paints a complete picture of how it all comes together.
MY ADVICE TO THOSE EXPLORING A CAREER IN FORESTRY
Persevere through adversity.
