Summary
I am licensed and certified to operate all Military Vehicles my unit has to offer. I am a subject matter
expert in various vehicles for my Platoon, such as Trailers and Heavy Equipment. I was tasked as a
Stryker driver for over 2 years. I also have experience as a team leader leading and training my peers
in harsh environments. I must always be reliable and prepared if I get deployed. I did an Internship for Barn Manager throughout High School to teach and guide students. I participated in the FFA Tool Identification judging and the FFA part/tractor judging. I grew oat hay on the fields of Descanso for FFA while operating and working on tractors. I Learned to Weld and do basic maintenance as well as taught others working with me.
