Extracurricular Activities/Sports/Hobbies: I love playing video games, particularly fighting games. I also enjoy cooking, especially Asian food.
Something unique about myself: When I was younger, my dream was to become a veterinarian and go to Auburn University. Obviously, that didn’t happen but I’m glad I decided to come to the University of Alabama.
Favorite thing about being in AFROTC: My favorite thing about AFROTC is working with other cadets and developing my leadership skills alongside my fellow classmates.
Most challenging part of being in AFROTC: The most challenging part of AFROTC is constantly being adaptable, even when things take an unexpected turn.
What leadership opportunities have you been given as a cadet in AFROTC?
Since becoming a POC (Professional Officer Course cadet), I have had the privilege of working in the closet, supplying all the cadets with uniforms and other items. This allows me the opportunity to talk to all the cadets and answer any questions new cadets have.
What advice would you give a student thinking about becoming a cadet?
If you want to be apart of something greater than yourself and challenge yourself mentally, then AFROTC is the way to go. Just do your best as a cadet and see where the process takes you.
