Rank: Staff Sergeant

Squadron: 380th Expeditionary Mission Support Group

Deployed duty title: Noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Executive Support

Home Unit: 908 Logistics Readiness Squadron

Hometown: Montgomery, AL

Impact:
 She puts her Bachelor's degree in English to good use by improving the quality-control and efficiency of the EMSG decoration program. In just over 2 months, she reviewed and processed over 106 decorations 50 percent faster than previous rotations. Additionally, she performed a comprehensive audit of the previous two rotations and discovered 15 unprocessed decorations and immediately rectified the situation.

What she enjoys most of this deployment: "I volunteered to backfill this position for an opportunity to gain leadership experience as well as to meet new people and see how things are done outside my Reserve squadron. With the wonderful leaders I work alongside, I've been able to receive their mentorship and guidance on a daily basis allowing me to grow immensely as an NCO and a person."

Goals: She looks forward to applying for a commission and becoming a public affairs officer on active duty.
