I am currently serving as an 0352 Anti-Tank Missileman in the United States Marine Corps. Prior to the Marine Corps; I was working year-round with other summer jobs. In high school, I was a 4-year varsity swimmer and competed in First Lego League where I learned leadership skills, research, and public speaking. In the Marine Corps, I graduated as the guide (in charge of leading the platoon of over 30 marines) and was awarded the honor graduate with a meritorious promotion. While in infantry training, I received a meritorious mast due to the performance of my squad outperforming the others. In the fleet, I was awarded the gung-ho award while attending assault climbers' course, this is the award given to the marine who others would most want with them in combat. I have consistently served as a team leader in charge of 5 Marines, and as a section leader in charge of 20. I have learned many valuable leadership skills in this time and developed a strong and motivated work ethic.I am currently serving as an 0352 Anti-Tank Missileman in the United States Marine Corps.
