"I am currently a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force working at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, CO. I am in the Logistics Readiness career field and I am in training to be the new Officer in Charge of Deployment Operations for my base.

I came into the Air Force in June ‘10 by completing the ROTC program at Indiana University where I graduated from in May ’10. While at IU I majored in Nonprofit Management through the esteemed School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

After I complete my current Air Force training in December I plan to start my masters in the Spring ’12 semester pursuing a Masters in Public Administration with a focus on Environmental Policy.
I am very grateful for the opportunities the Lilly Endowment has afforded me and I know I would not be where I am today without their great generosity."
