Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
I think serving in the military is a privilege that only a small percentage of the population ever has the opportunity to experience. I am proud to be part of this generation of the Air Force, and I know my family is too.

What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of?
Being selected as a professional military education instructor and completing my second Community College of the Air Force degree as a result.

What are your personal and/or professional goals?
My personal goal is to finish my bachelor's degree and hopefully someday be promoted to chief master sergeant.

What is your favorite part of your job?
Hearing from my prior ALS students when they use something they learned while in my class. The camaraderie with my fellow instructors also makes this the best job I've had so far.
