I am a driven individual with a diverse background and a passion for leadership, positive change, and ethical practice. I completed my undergraduate studies at West Point, where I honed my skills in critical thinking, discipline, and leadership. Afterward, I served as an officer in the US Army for nearly 6 years, specializing in a combat arms branch. During my military career, I developed strong problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and the capacity to lead diverse teams ranging from 16 to 150 personnel.Driven by my calling, thirst for knowledge, and a desire to make a positive difference, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a focus on neuroscience. This academic pursuit allows me to delve into the intricacies of the human mind and better understand how humans are designed. I am exploring innovative approaches to improve mental well-being (especially as it relates to individuals living with addiction and PTSD). In addition to my academic endeavors, I have authored a captivating children's novel, showcasing my creative side and love for storytelling. With my novel, I primarily hope to pass down mental health and character values to kids that equip them to be resilient in the face of hardship and honor their parents. Beyond my military and academic background, I am a multifaceted individual with various interests and skills. I am the owner of a successful real estate business, where I apply my project management skills and leadership acumen. Additionally, my proficiency in conflict resolution, developing leaders, and remaining calm under pressure has proven instrumental in navigating complex situations. As an efficient multitasker, I motivate teams and strive for excellence in every endeavor. Moreover, I possess conversational fluency in Spanish, enabling me to connect and communicate with a broader range of individuals.Isa61
