Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Serving in the Air Force is a great learning experience and a huge stepping stone.

What is your favorite part of your job? My favorite part of my job is the interaction I get to have with patients. Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than to see an immediate result of the work that is done on a daily basis.
