Why did you join Army ROTC?
I joined Army ROTC because I wanted to serve my country, join the military as an officer and I wanted to get my college paid for. My plans for my army career are to apply for Infantry and other combat arms branches.
What motivates you as a leader?
My friends 1LT Annika Day and 1LT Monica Smith motivate me as a leader because they are both hard charging Infantry officers that are hard at work right now in their respective units. They both exemplified good leadership by leading from the front, being accountable, organized, and extremely driven while being the CDT Battalion Commander and CDT former Delta/Bravo Company Commander during my freshman year of ROTC.
How do you manage ROTC and your other college commitments?
I manage ROTC and other college commitments by always making a list of what I need to get accomplished, and making sure I am prioritize time set aside to study, workout, go to class, and attend ROTC.
