I have been in the Coast Guard for seventeen years, joining six weeks after high school. I finished my associates last November (2021), and I am now currently working on my bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies through Liberty University. Outside of the Coast Guard, I have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Partners In Education, Girl Scouts, Special Olympics, and Meals on Wheels. Skills I have learned from the Coast Guard include knowledge in excel spreadsheets, word documents, reconciling financial accounts, and oversight of multiple employees.
