About
My name is Adriana Velasco. I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps and a full time student at Eastern Kentucky University. I completed 6 years of Active duty working as a Marine Security Guard in multiple U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world, and transferred over to the Reserves in order to attend College.
I take pride in everything I do, wether it be my academic standing, my Military career, my physical fitness level, or my family. I am a first born generation American and learned English in middle school. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, and in a few years i hope to be partially fluent in German.
