Summary
Hello, My name is Jaden Decker and I am originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I moved to St. Louis at the end of my freshman year of high school, and I go back to the Cape every summer; however I reside in St. Louis all year long. In 2022, I achieved a Bachelor’s degree in Organismal Biology with Magna cum laude. Since I graduated, I have been working with my Dad learning the trades and working under his company doing various jobs ranging from full home remodels to small odd job. Back in 2019 I also created a company with my sister called Tides&Co. and we have been doing craft fairs, sip and craft events, as well as having an etsy shop since then. I have cleaned houses since I was 13 and I have also worked as a chef assistant for The Ridge Club country club for 6 years. I am very detail oriented and artistic and I always bring a good, positive energy to the team I work with.
