Summary

I grew up the child of two active duty Military service members allowing me to travel and come into contact with a plethora of different cultures and ethnicities. I am an active member of the Missouri Army National Guard, meaning that I have respect for authority, a good work ethic as well as the heart to help others. I am kind and courteous and enjoy helping people which helps in any environment I may be placed in. I graduated from Basic Combat Training in August of 2018, finished my senior year of high school in 2019. I then proceeded to graduate top of my class at my military training in the Fall of 2019 following my graduation from high school. Since then, I have moved onto pursuing my degree at SEMO. I will be an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude with a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I am currently heading into my final semester of Nursing School at SEMO before graduating in the fall of 2024.
