Where did life lead you after high school?
Life led me to UW - Madison after graduating from Horlick, enrolled in the Naval ROTC program and the Sociology B.S. program. I graduated from UW this past May.
What are you doing now?
I am currently serving in the U.S. Navy as a Navy Medical Service Corps. Officer. While I am a U.S. Navy officer I am proudly serving alongside Marines with what is known as "greenside medical", green referring to the Marine Corps. This is not a common occurrence within the Navy officer community, outside of medical and chaplains, and I am grateful for my opportunity to be deployed overseas in Japan!
What are your plans for the future?
While I have 4.5 years left within the Navy. I have a yearning for more knowledge and will go back to schooling to earn my Doctorate in Psychology or hopefully M.D in Psychiatry. This way I can continue to serve my community and give back to those back home. Life is all about learning!
How did your high school experience help prepare you for your future?
My highschool experience helped me realize that I loved learning and I loved people. I was able to select the topics that I wanted to learn more about such as chemistry, physics, music theory, and aviation. The latter through the Aviation Pathway of course, thank you Mr. Bucholtz. These options and the fantastic teachers that taught them helped me grow as a student and person to set me up for higher education and my future.
