Introduction
I grew up in Minnesota and just moved to Nebraska. As of now, I work full-time with a multi-level marketing company, Monat. I am also in the Air National Guard, which I do part time.
My experience with the military has been one of the best. I have gone on many short deployments along with a 7-month deployment to the UAE, United Arab Emirates. I have been in the Air National Guard for 8 years and plan on doing my full 20 years or longer!
I am engaged to the most incredible man that I met through the military. He is also in the Air National Guard. We both volunteer every summer for a Youth & Teen camp. I used to be one of the cooks and he was/is a teen counselor. He walked into my kitchen in 2018 and I knew it was meant to be.
The military has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. It not only gave me all the opportunities to travel, but also brought me a 2nd family, allowed me to live on my own for over a year without having to worry about bills and expenses, and has taught me so much about how to be independent.
Some things that I am passionate about are working out, hiking, traveling, trying new restaurants, and just any kind of adventure that takes me off the beaten path.

12. What advice would you give yourself 10 years ago?
I would have said…do whatever makes you happy. If you are feeling stuck, then figure out what your next move is going to be. Never stay stagnant. Life is too short for crummy relationships, a boring job, and no true passion for something. If you want to travel the world…decide how you are going to get there. If you want to be single for a while to find yourself…then do so. You do not always have to be in a relationship to feel fulfilled. Life is about figuring out what you truly want. There is no single path to follow. You make your own path and see where it takes you. Don’t let anyone take your light because you are going to do great things in the world!
