What are some of your accomplishments while at LRC-Daegu?

One of the most significant accomplishments for the LRC-D was the Brigade Senior Leader Seminar that was hosted by LRC-Daegu. I played a most important role for this endeavor in conceptualizing, supporting, preparing, programming, and the final execution of the event, which was not only highly successful, but also commented by the brigade commander as setting the standard for future Brigade Senior Leader Seminars.

I have planned, prepared, and executed Several LRC-Daegu town halls, organization day events and holiday parties, which involved securing of the venues and meal preparation for more than 150 employees. I have also coordinated a variety of sporting events.

I have designed and uploaded each division’s information & operations slides as well.

What is the best thing about working at LRC-Daegu?

I love working at the LRC-Daegu because it gives me the unique opportunity to independently perform all mission planning and operate at the lowest level to provide direct coordination for scheduling, and briefing management support among the LRC-Daegu director, staff and 403rd AFSB brigade staff on a daily basis.
