Importance and/or impact of research and work

My work focuses on the niches of business administration. I am drawn to the complexities of human resources management. I am intrigued by the nuances of executive compensation.

Describe an aspect of your military service that is especially memorable or exceptional

An exceptional moment in my military career was being awarded the State Department Award for Valor. Being recognized for doing something that could be called valorous is humbling and a quiet source of relentless determination to keep going...no matter what.

Tell us how your military service provided skills and experiences that you were able to apply to your graduate studies.

The most important skill that military service hones and perfects is self-discipline. With self-discipline life's tasks and responsibilities are welcome challenges to improve, not burdens to my individual liberty. Self-discipline makes anticipation and preparation auto-responses, or second nature.

Career aspirations

I intend to ultimately run a successful business consulting firm. The first step will be getting as many degrees from FSU as possible!
