I have served in the military, as a enlisted and commissioned personnel, in medical occupations. I have also served as an adjunct instructor in clinical studies at a physician assistant training program.

In college, I majored in math[Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry], and Chemistry, as well as pre-med courses.
