My top character strengths help support my work at TMF in lots of different ways. Love and bravery help me develop relationships with the mentors that I work with and with different groups of youth that I help deliver programming to. My life experiences and my bravery to share the details help demonstrate my authenticity when speaking to groups.

What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
I love all aspects of working with fellow veterans because even though we come from different backgrounds, we all know what it means to serve and it instantly bonds us. I feel a great sense of duty working with survivors because their family member(s) made the ultimate sacrifice and I want to provide them with all the help that I can. Inspired civilians are amazing because they give of their time and resources simply because they want to…and I appreciate them!
