During high school, I played for 3 years and competed in tournaments, including the 2020 Rugby 7s Beach. From my time in Prime Catch, I have loved nearly every day I worked there. More than I could ever know, the sense of pride I felt in my work ethic from showing up early to being one of the last workers to leave for the night made me feel like I actually put my time to use and was productive with my life. That experience transferred well to active duty service. In the Marine Corps, I already had what it took to succeed; I only built upon it more and refined it. I accomplished a great deal and earned numerous qualifications and certifications during my first enlistment. Now, as a Sergeant and an Instructor, I have great experience in leading and teaching, but I am forever willing to learn more and improve if given the chance.
