Karen Kelley

Today, March 25, 2024, I live and work in Tavares, FL at a blueberry farm where I am a blackberry grower and laborer. I have worked with irrigation, field set up, planting, lawn care, how to drive various farm vehicles safely, strawberry and vegetable growing, can carry up to 50 pounds safely, among thousands of other things, and aim to be the hardest worker on my team. I constantly ask my peers how to do new jobs so that I can independently complete it the next time. I desire to learn new things & tasks daily. I also have experience in the office: contacting suppliers, writing business emails, organizing and keeping files, and filling out and submitting government paperwork. I hold my current Florida's Private Applicator's license and am interested in gaining the Virginia equivilant.

I am moving to Galax, Virginia in June 2024 and am looking for employment on a farm to grow my experience and skills. I can fly up to Virginia to pursue employment at any time.
