My ultimate goal is to work at the Veterans Affairs (VA) office to help the troubled soldiers that suffer with PTSD or in my community at local outreach groups; like Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meetings.

Currently obtaining my grad degree now, but the one thing I would be interested in is possibly joining an organization to spread the programs offered at my school. It is hard joining organizations while going to school online, but I truly love my university. I have never felt more empowered to finish school than I have attending this university. I receive phone calls the beginning of every semester to discuss my plans and ways to get there, more people deserve this and should be made aware.

I love taking advantage of every opportunity given to me so living overseas in Japan thanks to the military, allows my husband and I to avidly snorkel. We also take our daughters traveling over Asia so they can learn to appreciate the opportunities awarded to them. There are a lot of people that will never get to experience the things we do and I try to ensure that they are given the best. We also take pride in being at our church because we believe in strengthening our bodies of Christ right now. It is our belief that everything we will do for the Lord will be done in this body, so we must get fit and armed with the word. My church family does many marathon runs that we participate in and I even take my oldest daughter along with me so she can see that fitness is very important in our lives.
