“I was medically retired from the military in August of 2013 after breaking my back. I wanted to work with emergency room medicine but at that point in my life, it would’ve been hard to start from square one after being in for almost 10 years and while having a newborn. That’s when I decided I wanted to study Computer Science and started at TAMUSA in the fall of 2015.

This is my first semester as the President of the Student Veteran Association. I missed the camaraderie and wanted to build that kind of relationship here. We can still be a strong community and help each other out. We’re also open to non-veteran students, but the primary goal is to help veterans learn how to build networks and to assimilate themselves in Corporate America.”
