About

Currently, I am majoring in Aviation Technologies with a specialization in helicopters. I will receive a bachelor degree in a Applied science and technologies, as well as, a minor in army military science. I have attended the Army Reserve Officer Training Coarse (AROTC) for the passed three years and will also commission as an Army Officer upon graduation. Staying involved and busy is what I am best at or is what I usually end up getting myself into. I work hard and diligently to achieve my goals. My field of study is competitive combining GPA, Army Physical Fitness Test scores, involvement through the community and various organization on campus, and overall assessment at the Leadership Development Accessions Course (LDAC) into one score, your Order of Merit List score, to compete against other cadets in the nation during the assessment period. I'm deeply involved in my fraternity and have held various leadership roles throughout my membership period. I also am involved in giving back to the community being the Cadet in Command (CIC) of Pershing Rifles group
