Can you share your experience serving in the military?

My service to this country was a lesson in leadership.  As a military officer, you are taught to lead.  Being a black female officer was sometimes an isolating situation.  I was representing my family, and a proud graduate of the #1 HBCU.  It help form the person I am today.

What is a message you would like to share with your Aggie family, friends and relatives?

Always believe in your gifts
