With over 22 years of dedicated service as an Infantry Soldier in the United States Army, I retired as a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO), having undertaken numerous deployments across the Western Hemisphere, Balkans, and the Middle East. Throughout my military career, I honed my leadership skills and gained invaluable experience in high-pressure environments, always placing the mission and my team's well-being at the forefront. Beyond the battlefield, my greatest passion lies in my family. I cherish every moment spent with them, recognizing their unwavering support as the cornerstone of my strength and resilience. Transitioning from the structured life of the military to civilianhood was a significant journey—one filled with challenges and opportunities. Understanding the complexities of this transition firsthand, I became deeply committed to advocating for financial literacy and providing support to fellow veterans navigating the same path. I firmly believe that the shift from being a hero in uniform to a civilian role requires patience, adaptability, and a strong support system. Through my own experiences and insights, I strive to empower others to embrace this transition with confidence and resilience. As an advocate for veteran empowerment, I am dedicated to offering guidance and assistance to those transitioning from military service to civilian life. Whether it's navigating financial challenges, adjusting to a new lifestyle, or seeking opportunities in the civilian workforce, I am here to provide support and mentorship every step of the way. In all endeavors, I remain committed to serving others and making a positive impact in the lives of fellow veterans and their families.
