Military Experience: 7.5 years
Work Experience:
I’m a proud immigrant and retired Army Staff Sergeant who served three tours in Afghanistan, now working at Harvard and raising my 8-year-old son. I’m known for being steady under pressure, respectful with people from any background, and willing to put in the work. I’m working toward becoming a licensed electrician so I can give my family stability, build our own home one day, and eventually help create homes for families who’ve had fewer chances. I’m not looking for shortcuts, just a fair shot to prove what I can do.
