Background

About Krystan Gilmore

I have been a turkey farm worker for 8 years. This consists of daily barn checks, feeding, documenting mortality, barn set up, and driving tractors. This has also led me to gain experience in being a technology assistant. I've set up a website off of a template, maintained a Facebook account, typed documents and emails, and utilized computer programs (Microsoft, Excell, and Powerpoint). I've owned horses for the past 8 years. I do daily feeding and watering, stall cleaning, training (groundwork and saddle breaking), administering veterinary care, barn maintenance, and keeping records updated. At Saint Mary's, the college I'm attending, I'm studying in Equine Business Management and Business Administration. The Equine program requires me to maintain farrier records, provide daily maintenance to the barn, and provide daily care for the horses. I also am working as a Learning Resource tutor, a writing center tutor, and a substitute receptionist for the Le Fer Front Desk. For the Learning Resource tutor position, I provide tutoring in a variety of subjects and attend training and meetings to improve tutoring sessions. As a writing center tutor, I provide walk-in hours for writing assistance, host workshops to improve writing techniques, attend bi-weekly training and meetings to improve tutoring sessions, and brainstorm ways to increase usage of the writing center. As a substitute receptionist, I answer and transfer phone calls as well as greet and sign in guests. I have taken piano for 12 years and won multiple awards for the Federation Festivals of Indiana. I was a 4-H member for 10 years and won multiple awards for projects including 2 projects that went to the State Fair. I participated in many Church-related volunteer activities, such as VBS preschool crew leader, participated in a benefit dinner theater and benefit Christmas play, and assist with preschool Sunday School. I also volunteer at Springs Valley Elementary in a 2nd-grade classroom as an assistant.
