SUMMARY
I joined the military in 1992 to serve my country. After the first 8 years of working on airplanes
as a Hydraulic Mechanic, I decided to continue my path (prior-military studies) in the legal
field. The last 12 years of my military career I served as a Navy Paralegal. I have taken lead on
several court-martial cases, administration cases and office management of several personnel
along the way. The last 4 years I have been enrolled in on-line courses and learning to become
a Veterinary Technician.
