United States Marine Corps
Years of Service: 2008 – 2013
Mt. SAC Alumni
17-18 SVA President

 I grew up in the city of Brea and currently live in La Habra. I honorably served five years in the Marine Corps and was a MV-22 Crew Chief. I was stationed in North Carolina for three and a half years. As a Crew Chief I flew on the MV-22 Osprey Helicopters, performed inspections, and maintenance.

I am currently majoring in public policy and am pursuing a career in politics. Last year I had the honor of serving as the Associated Students Body President. That experience and getting involved in general on campus has changed my life and has led me to discover a passion I had no idea I possessed. I am currently the President for the E.A.G.L.E. club on campus which stands for the Environmental Action Group for a Livable Earth.

 E.A.G.L.E. is currently working on a few projects that will benefit the Mt. SAC Community. These include the Water Bottle Initiative, Increasing Drought Awareness Project, the Cleaner Campus Initiative and incorporating Sustainability Campus Tours on campus.

Attending Mt. SAC has changed my life. I am truly blessed and proud to be a Mountie.
