My most rewarding professional experience was when I was chosen above peers to be a foreign liaison to the Azeri National Army. In 2018, I was provided with a phenomenal opportunity to travel to Azerbaijan and learn how people across the world live. I was also entrusted to teach classes on critical U.S. security practices to this foreign army, bolstering their ability to maintain control of our allied interests. It was a very humbling yet prideful moment in my career that I likely will never forget.
