What's been your favorite assignment/TDY and why?
JBA is my first assignment and I've loved it from the beginning. I grew up in a small town where I knew just about everyone, whereas here, it’s a big city with a lot to do. So being able to explore the area has been pretty awesome.

I wouldn’t say I have a specific dream assignment but I think I would love to travel overseas to experience different cultures.
What's the coolest thing you've done in the military?
Since I’ve been here at JBA, one of the coolest things I’ve done is having the opportunity to speak at the Air Force’s 72nd Birthday Worship Service, where I met and got coined by the CSAF!

I like to spend my spare time hanging out with friends, doing outdoor activities, and watching sports.
