Why did you join the military? I joined the military to better myself and build a solid foundation to grow from in the future.

Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years: I see myself with a family, a happy home, and preparing my kids for their future endeavors.

What do you do for fun here? I love to travel. Being in a new country brings new sights and experiences. I'm enjoying all that Korea has to offer.

What's your favorite Air Force memory or story? The day I won the Leadership Award in Airman Leadership School. Even though my family was not there to see it presented, this moment opened my eyes to my potential. It sounds cliché but I can really do whatever I put my mind to.

What accomplishment are you most proud of? Showing my little sisters that there is more to life than what our little city had to offer.

Who are your role models? The people that influenced me the most are my father for his stern ways, my mother for being the backbone of the family, my aunt for her direction and my grandmother for being there for me when I felt alone.
