Experience

I am a U.S. Navy veteran of five years that initially enlisted as a way of obtaining medical experience. I got to do some cool things while I was enlisted, including two tours aboard the USNS Comfort. We visited seventeen countries in total between the two missions, providing medical care to thousands of patients located in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. It was an experience that I will always be grateful and privileged to be a part of.

Comfort is working with health and government partners in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean to provide care on the ship and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems strained by an increase in Venezuelan migrants.

These days, I am switching gears and pursuing a career in the tech industry. Computer science and cybersecurity are my two fields of interest, and I am excited to be a part of these programs here at ODU.
