| A little about me | |
| I am currently active duty station in Ft Meade, MD working in the intel department. I have a husband, a 20 month old, and currently pregnant with my second child. | |
| My military experiences | |
| I served at IWTC Corry Station and CWA-65 in maryland. I joined the Navy to help me travel and to help me build a future for myself and my husband. My son shortly welcomed us later. | |
| My most memorable experience from my time in service | |
| My most memorable moment was advancing to 3rd class because I was so scared of not advancing and I accomplished it on my first try. | |
| Why I chose to adopt a pet | |
| I decided to adopt a pet because my son has a extreme love for animals and I don’t want him to ever be scared of them. I also grew up with animals my entire life and I felt adopting a dog would complete my family. | |
| Why I chose to adopt through Pets for Patriots | |
| I went through pets for patriots because i wanted to share my story with fellow service members. | |
| How my adopted pet has changed my life | |
| Adopting my dog has made me more active and kept me on more of a structured routine. It is also just like having another kid. | |
| What I love most about my new pet friend | |
| My dog loves me unconditionally. I love how he plays with my son so gently and is extremely protective over him. Moose is also such a goofball | |
| What I would tell other veterans who might be thinking about adopting through Pets for Patriots | |
| I have recommended this program to my entire division already. The representatives are extremely thorough and always kept in touch until I adopted my dog. | |
