Believe it or not, I thought that a veteran was someone who’d served in a war with the American military. With that in mind while I was still on active duty, I went to the V.A. with some questions. I’d served a tour or two in Vietnam by then so I thought I was more than qualified to enter the V.A.

Tell me about your current role at Yale University?
My role at Yale University is three-fold. First, my role is to develop Midshipmen, preparing them for service as Navy and Marine Corps officers in our Department of Defense. To break that down, education, mental toughness, physical toughness, and moral courage are the key training areas I am accountable for, that will help them in their future responsibility to lead the men and women of our Armed Forces.

Tell me about your career at Yale University.
I am a Senior Human Resources Generalist supporting several departments at the School of Medicine. A Generalist is the bridge between the customers in the field and central Human Resources. It’s one-stop shopping for the customer in many instances. The customer can be employees, departments, administrators, in some cases its faculty too.
