WHY DID YOU JOIN?

I joined the Air Force to travel the world.

DEPLOYED UNIT VS HOME STATION?

At home I am responsible for servicing and taking accountability for a larger number of personnel.

GOALS?

My most important professional goals are to continue learning, climbing
the ranks, and being an inspiration and role model to the Airmen under me. My personal goals are to finish school and do what I can to make my family proud.

FAVORITE PART OF MISSION?

Having the ability to welcome newcomers with a smiling face to let them know that we are all in this together.

HOBBIES?

My hobbies are dancing, watching movies, and getting a good laugh.

CHALLENGES?

My biggest and only challenge here is being away from my family. I overcome this by waking up a little earlier or going to sleep a little later so that I can talk to my children before school or before bed.
