Summary
As a Reservist in the USAF, I aim to develop the skills I've learned in the military as a civilian as well. I'm a goal-oriented individual who's looking for related aviation or engineering experience; my interest in all thing aviation and engineering began when I was younger and continues into the present. Being a member of an aircrew requires higher levels of discipline and study as we must meet a 85% proficiency requirement on every assessment or evaluation we receive; this has developed my resourcefulness and astute work ethic as I continue my journey as an airman. Ultimately, my goal is to develop myself with more work experience and grasp at every opportunity for more work experience.
