What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Sergeant and Air Transportation Specialist with hands-on experience coordinating personnel, supplies, and specialized equipment to accomplish mission-critical logistics. I pair disciplined military logistics experience with active campus leadership and event management roles.
Currently pursuing a B.S. in Family and Consumer Science at the University of Georgia, I bring strengths in time management, attention to detail, and teamwork developed through Air Force service and campus organizations. I have operational certifications for material handling and vehicle systems supporting safe transport operations.
On campus I design and implement community programs, plan academic and social events, and serve as a UGA Football Ambassador connecting prospective families with university life.
