Bio 

I have over 25 years human resources background. My career began after my military separation. As a veteran's work-study, I went to college on the G.I. Bill and obtained a government funded work study program where I worked as a Jobs interviewer at the Kentucky State Employment office. I worked into a full-time position as a Program Coordinator for Vets. Thoughout my educational career I have taught. I began my teaching career at local business schools (CareerCom Business School), advanced to community colleges (Jefferson Community College, Lousiville, KY) and eventually became an adjunct instructor at Murray State University. All of these were part-time jobs, but something I enjoyed and will resume upon retiring from my current position.

The unit I was attached to was not a law enforcement unit. There mission was to provide support for the tankers. I went to a number of schools, but never deployed with this unit.

I was assigned to a mobile air base. We would deploy to combat zones and set up tactical facilities to support military operations (ATC and communications primarily).
