  As a Marine, I learned the priceless value of good character and how critical it is for good leadership. I was privileged to earn leadership roles as a Rifleman in a security forces unit and twice in different infantry units. In those roles, I learned about team dynamics, how to lead by example, and mission accomplishment—that is, overcoming obstacles and changing circumstances to realize a goal.
