I retired from an Army career as a signals intelligence collector and analyst in May of 2019. I spent my career at Fort Campbell, National Security Agency sites in Maryland and Georgia, as well as the U.S. Army Intelligence Center on Fort Huachuca, Arizona. While in the Army, I had the opportunity to serve as an instructor at two different leadership development schools, where I found my passion for teaching. While serving, I earned Associates Degrees in Arabic and Intelligence Operations, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. I went on to earn a Master of Education in Secondary Education so I could continue to teach in my post-Army career.
