United States Air Force veteran changes the narrative of an entire community
"I am an Air Force veteran and proud native of South Jamaica Queens, where I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by underprivileged youth in our community. After my honorable discharge, I was inspired to create Premier Virtual Racing Academy as a way to give back and help young people in our area. Using virtual reality racing simulators, we offer a unique STEM education program that teaches valuable skills and encourages exploration of exciting career paths in the motor sports industry. As a veteran, I bring the discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills I developed in the Air Force to every aspect of my work at Premier. I am deeply committed to serving my community and making a positive impact on the lives of those around me. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and I am proud to be part of an organization that is dedicated to empowering young people and ending gun violence, drugs, and teenage pregnancy in our community."
