I really enjoyed my time in the service. I knew that college and a desk job was not what I wanted right out of high school. The Air Force provided me with so many opportunities to work a job that I would never have on the civilian side, I worked with explosives. On the flight line every day around the fighter jets too was super exciting. I had planned on making the military a career but needed to get out after learning of a hearing disability. I have been with the Office of Student Financial Aid for about 8 years. Helping the students through the financial aid process is really rewarding, especially when I get to assist our active-duty military and veterans along with the military-connected students. When not at work I enjoy hanging with my dog and hiking in the state parks around Wisconsin. Camping and traveling are very high on the priority list each year along with grilling and spending time with friends and family. My favorite holiday is Halloween and that keeps me busy all year round with planning and creating Halloween decorations.
