Core Value Portrayed: 'Excellence in All We Do'

How does the individual portray that core value? I'm honored to have Dolan on my team because he embodies all of our core values and owns each and every one of them.

Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Joining the Air Force has been a dream of mine since I was 7 years old. Being a part of such an amazing team of Airmen, and doing things that I never thought I would able to do, is what makes serving in the Air Force important to me.

What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of?
Along with the help of my father, I coordinated with the Boy Scouts of America to provide care packages to more than 500 Royal Air Force Lakenheath Airmen living in the dorms. The hard work was worth seeing smiles on my fellow wingmen's faces.

What are your personal and/or professional goals? I would like to receive a commission and become a communications officer; however, my ultimate goal is to become a C-17 Globemaster III pilot.

What is your favorite part of the job? I enjoy being able to help my fellow Airmen, by getting out of the office and working on trouble tickets.
