Bio
I have dedicated the majority of my life to serving my country with 26 years of active duty Army Service. I started out my Army Career as a Personnel Administrative Specialist, providing Human Resource solutions for 9 years. Later I switched jobs in the Army and became an Explosives Ordnance Disposal Technician, accumilating 17 years of experience and earning my Master EOD Badge. Now after five deployments and retiring from the Army I am ready to give back. I am currently attending college to earn my Masters of Social Work. My goal after I graduate is to go to work for the VA and help my fellow Veterans.
