Summary

To Whom It May Concern, I am a hardworking and dedicated individual looking for a career with better opportunities and a more "normal" way of life, my goals and admiration's have only gotten stronger. During my time in the United States Army I was trained as an information technology specialist at Fort Gordon, GA where I excelled, once getting to Fort Campbell, KY I was placed into an S6 office where daily tasks and goals were to be met. I obtained a TS/SCI clearance and started into COMSEC. Seeking a position at VA Illiana to use my knowledge and skills to make a difference for my fellow Veterans.
