I joined the United States Navy at 18 years old to gain real-world knowledge and funding for education. During my time as an Operations Specialist on-board the USS Enterprise, I successfully tracked, identified, and reported over 12,000 surface contacts ensuring the safety of over 5,000 crew members. I also collected, processed, and displayed pertinent tactical and secret combat information directly to the Commanding Officer.
For two years I worked temporary assignment as a Master at Arms qualified in various weapons and part of a team that protected eight nuclear reactors from internal and external dangers.
While deployed, I was fortunate enough to experience Dubai, Bahrain, Greece, and Italy. After deployment, I received my Bachelor's of Arts in Finance and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ashford University, receiving acceptance into the SALUTE Veteran's National Honor Society and the Golden Key International Honor Society in March of 2015.
Post-military I utilized my VA loan to acquire my very first home. Through the process and the renovations I did, my home left a lasting impression on me - one that propelled me to acquire my real estate license. And now I find so much joy in helping others find their way home!
