Jonell Wynter

My name is Jonell Wynter, but I like to be called Jay. I am 19 years old and I currently live in Dorchester, but I was born in Jamaica. I lived there for 16 years and then immigrated to United States. My father passed away when I was 10 years old. Wish he was here to see his daughter now, but its life and you just have to hang in there.

My favorite colors are: red, blue, green, black and white. In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, basketball, soccer, listening to music, etc. I went to school at Southie High and graduated in 2008. Now I work for Youth Build Boston and the Emerald Necklace Conservancy. I do construction and landscaping. I find them very interesting and I enjoy working in this field. I applied for the carpenters union and I got my letter.
