Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Serving in the Air Force is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to not only look out for my family, but also my country.

What moment or accomplishment as a member of the Iceman Team are you most proud of and why? When I worked at the dining facility I put together a soul food meal and people said it was excellent. I was proud of it because it showed off my culinary skills.

What is your favorite part of your job? The favorite part of my job is actually being able to work out and seeing when the hard work you put in pays off.

Who inspires you and why? My mother inspires because she raised a household of four without a male figure present and still made sure we had everything we needed.

What's your favorite part about being in Alaska? My favorite part of Alaska is the small town feeling you get because everyone looks out for one another.
