Over the course of my military career, I’ve been given the opportunity to write extensively: fitness reports, awards, white papers, and policy recommendations. Each of these exercises were important in building my communication skills. Skills I need to clearly articulate complex strategies and solutions to co-workers, effectively convey levels of risk, urgency of taking action on critical issues to my seniors, convincing them to spend the human and financial capital required to address them. Over the course of my college education, I’ve had the opportunity to continue to refine those writing skills, through English writing courses at TCC as well as Cyber Law at Old Dominion. These next few artifacts will demonstrate my ability to clearly convey ideas, explain problems and recommend solutions.
