Summary

I graduated high school in 2019. I enlisted in the Illinois National Guard after I graduated high school. I went to basic training and advanced individual training (AIT) in November 2019. Graduated Basic training in February 2020. Went off to AIT for two months and graduated in April 2020. My job in the Army is as a unit supply specialist. So when someone in the unit needs something we are there to supply it. After my training, I started school at Western Illinois University in the Fall of 2020. I am now in my junior year at Western majoring in Exercise Science. I have gained lots of knowledge throughout the last three years and I am ready to apply that knowledge. I graduate in the Spring of 2024.
