Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I get to serve my country, as well as get an education and see the world.

What moment or accomplishment as a Warrior of the North are you most proud of and why?
This being my first base, I see everything that I have learned here as an accomplishment, especially as I learn more about my career field and develop a better understanding of the importance of the Air Force.

What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is the fact that I learn new skills for my job all the time and I can apply those lessons to the work I do in the future.

I couldn't say that just one person has inspired me throughout my life, but I can say that two steady inspirations in my life have been my mom, and my Aunt Nancy. They both have been major assets to my success.

The people I work with have made my being in what seems like Antarctica a lot better, because they are all truly great people.
