About

I am a senior at West Salem High School. Throughout high school I have worked two jobs. One at Iron Ram Fabrications in my hometown, and Jostad Dragline Services, which is my family’s business. Throughout high school I’ve stayed on high honor roll, participated in classes, and every semester have done a metals class. Taking these classes have prepared me for my career field of interest. After high school I want to go to AWI, advanced welding, institute, in Eagle River get a higher education in welding. I signed up for the honor society in hopes to get scholarships and grants to fulfill my dreams and goals.

Goals and interests

Career goal

After my schooling, I hope to be able to get a job traveling. A traveling job would mean that I would either be welding, bridges, buildings, or on a pipeline crew.

Graduate school interests

AWI is a six month program that starts in the fall of 2024 and will allow me to graduate in mid February 2025. Being able to graduate early from a secondary school after high school, will allow me to open my horizon to job opportunities.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies are-
Welding, coloring, cleaning up around the house, door dashing, farm work and hanging out with friends
