Who is the most positive influence in your life and why?
The most positive influence in my life is my best friend because she is always striving for more and always wants more for me. She supports me in everything that I do and believes that I can accomplish anything.

What would you like to accomplish during your Air Force career?
I would like to get selected for Officer's Training School and get a pilot slot.

Where is the most interesting place you have traveled, and why do you feel that way?
The most interesting place I've traveled is Diego Garcia, after it was no longer a bomber/tanker location. The beach was empty, the water was warm and very clear, the food was cheap, and there was plenty of stuff to do. On top of that, I got a nice tan and was able to work out every day.

What is your favorite book/movie and why?
My favorite book is "The Lone Survivor." It is a true story that shows how far people are willing to go to fight for each other and an amazing story that shows how much one can endure to survive.

If you had the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
I would like to meet Chuck Norris because he can land on Runway 37.
