2024

SSgt in the U.S. Air Force, currently serving as a Quality Assurance Inspector specializing in F-35A Lightning II aircraft. Previously, I worked as a crew chief on F-16 Fighting Falcons, deploying to Qatar and Saudi Arabia. At UW-Madison, I am a second-year nursing student, passionate about critical care and psychiatric/ mental health. I’m actively involved in clinical rotations at the VA Hospital and volunteer with community organizations like the March of Dimes and Women United Way of Dane County. Outside of school and service, I enjoy outdoor activities like running, puzzling, traveling, and spending time with my family/ friends.
