ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England --
Senior Airman Jennifer Winn, 48th Medical Operations Squadron, medical service technician was nominated for the Liberty Spotlight by her chain of command because she practices the Air Force core values of "Excellence in All We Do" and "Service Before Self".
Commander: Colonel James Forrest
Time in Service: 4 years this June
Time at Lakenheath: 2 years, 11 months
Hometown: Coos Bay, Oregon
Hobbies: Scrapbooking, horseback riding
Daily Airman Winn and Airman 1st Class Nicholas Eckenrode display the Air Force core values of "Excellence in All We Do" and "Service before Self". They epitomize the wingman policy as each day they perform as the "Dynamic Duo" in the medical specialties element. They support the 1,280 enrollees, seen in the only internal medicine clinic in USAFE, as well as assist two specialty clinics of which neither is assigned. Together, they have ensured over $45,000 in revenue since the beginning of fiscal year 2009. They perform the job of four medical technicians saving the Air Force $4,254 in personnel replacement.
They perform daily duties such as obtaining vital signs, reporting directly to physicians with abnormalities, assisting physicians with procedures, patient scheduling, supplying exam rooms, and working extra hours to ensure these tasks are carried out. They are repeatedly recognized by patients for their positive customer service. Their attention to detail is uncanny as they work to ensure 100 percent success of patient care for USAFE internal medicine patients. They both work beyond their rank and with continued dedication to the mission. They will surely soar to the top!
Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I want to be able to say I did something for our country and I deserve to live in the United States.
What are your personal and career goals?
My personal goals are to get my degree in early childhood education and become a teacher.
