Summary

Transitioning from a background in the disciplined ranks of the military's Security Forces to managing a bustling household of nine, my journey reflects resilience and adaptability. My experience in the Air Force has honed my leadership skills and instilled a commitment to service and attention to detail. Today, as I embark on a new career path, I bring the strong work ethic, discipline, and precise decision-making cultivated during my military service. This foundation, combined with my diverse experiences as a head cheerleading coordinator, coach, Market Manager for Purina and Brand Ambassador for Grey Eagle, equips me to excel in a role that demands precision and a dedication to excellence.
