Personal Bio:*I graduated from Concorde College in 2016 with a Physical Therapist Assistant degree. After my first few years of military service, having been stationed in Virginia, I moved back to my home state of California. I ended up completing my active duty career there at MCB Camp Pendleton. I moved south to San Diego for school, where I would work for a few years after graduation, before moving here to Gillette Wyoming. I enjoy being outdoors, Band-Aid brand bandaids, and taco Tuesdays in my spare time.
