94th Airlift Wing priority portrayed and why: I am currently filling in as the training manager for the Command Post. I hope to be able to help run the Command Post and help teach and welcome other airmen as we gain them. I enjoy helping others and working as a team.


Thought / quote / motto you live or lead by IN YOUR OWN WORDS: One of my mottos is to treat others how you would want to be treated. I try to be as helpful and welcoming as possible to promote a great working environment. Also, I believe in trying your best and not always expecting perfection. I used to be a perfectionist, but I realized that we all start somewhere. Since we are human, mistakeS are bound to happen. As long as we learn from them and no-one died, it will be okay!
