About

Professional dedicated to hard work and the care of others. Able to acquire a number of valuable experiences and insights as a squad leader in the Marine Corps such as caring for my fellow and junior Marines, counseling, active listening, problem solving, and critical thinking. Looking for the opportunity to apply my skills, knowledge, and attributes to help others and have a positive impact on their lives. My short term goals include earning my BSN from Hawaii Pacific University while working to gain valuable work experience. My long term goal is to use that degree to become a registered nurse in the emergency room.
