The one thing that makes me unique at Jacksonville University is that I’m a fighter and will do everything in my power to ensure our military connected students have the best college experience anyone can have.
I’m good at what I do as being a DJ.
What are your biggest goals in the next 6 to 12 Months?
My biggest goals in the next 6 to 12 months is to partnership with more veteran organizations to assist with their needs. I would find companies for the purpose of sponsorships as there’s a need for monetary support to allow me to do the things that I do for our veterans.
