As a volunteer and in addition to having fundraised for the build a of a key training structure for the Debarment of Military Science. I have cultivated and continue to steward key donors for sustainability of the program. As a major donor for the ROTC program at CSFU, I have been granted a unique insight into the donor relationships. I have spent the last 12 years providing support to cadets as a mentor and assist the cadets with their fundraising efforts to meet expenses such as the annual Military Ball, out of pocket expenses for training equipment, event location fees and uniform cost.

This great opportunity has also allowed me to build a network which has led to relationships that now offers support for incoming cadets and retiring military personnel . Most recently I have been able to branch my network into assisting with recruiting with the Los Angeles Battalion by linking them to various Middle and High School Institutions.
