Where did you serve and what did you do?

I enlisted in the Marine Corps as an automotive mechanic and specialized in a vehicle known as the Logistics Vehicle System. I completed two tours during my four-year enlistment. I deployed to Iraq in 2008 and Afghanistan in 2009.

How are you #StillServing?

I left the Marines to pursue a career in medicine as a physician. After many years of education, I am finally in my last year of medical school and will be starting residency in a few months.

Why do you do it?

I love to serve my community. I think it comes from my mother instilling in me a strong desire to give back from a young age. That is why I aspire to continue my public service by running for public office in the future.
