Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?

Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I am able to continue growing in my career and expand my knowledge. As a result, I have had the opportunity to be a mentor to younger Airmen.

What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of?

Being so close to completing my Community College of the Air Force degree, earning senior Airman below-the-zone and getting to view the bigger picture of my career field because I am one of the few Airmen that have actually worked in every aspect such as client support team, asset management, communication focal point, software management and personal wireless communication systems.

What are your personal and/or professional goals?

A personal goal of mine is to have my CCAF by the spring. A professional goal of mine is to have the new software management program running smoothly before the spring.

What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of my job is fixing issues for users and being a part of the bigger picture.
