Key Highlights
- I see great leadership as being able to balance working with a team and working independently. When I'm part of a team, I focus on collaboration, communication, and making sure everyone feels supported while moving toward a common goal.
- At the same time, I understand that leadership isn't just about guiding others-it's also about holding myself accountable and taking initiative when I'm working on my own.
- I've learned to stay disciplined and focused, even with minimal supervision, because that shows reliability and sets an example for others to follow.
- For me, leadership is about being dependable, motivating others, and stepping up when needed, whether that's side by side with a team or by taking charge of a task on my own.
- I believe seeking and accepting guidance from command and coworkers is a sign of strength, not weakness, because it shows a willingness to learn and grow. By valuing input from others, I can improve my performance, strengthen teamwork, and ensure the mission is carried out effectively.
- In the military, I applied my training by developing strong accountability, a disciplined work ethic, and the ability to solve problems under pressure. My mentors reinforced the importance of taking ownership of every task, staying organized, and leading by example, which taught me how effective teamwork and structured planning can drive success in both mission readiness and daily operations.
