About James
I had an eight-year US Army career, serving in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Suwon, Korea; Ft. Stewart, Ga.; and Ft. Bliss, Tx. Went from leading soldiers as a non-commissioned officer, to earn a B.A. in Psychology, a M.A. in Education and supporting military-affiliated students in community college, non-profit, for-profit, and Research 1 institutions. On Veterans Day 2014 in Washington DC, I along with 2 colleagues presented a congressional briefing on how the UC system supports military-affiliated students. Currently I serves as a board member of the VetCtap non-profit organization.
Relationships, team-building and core skills are my areas of interest. I have spent the last 15 years in higher education supporting military-affiliated and non-traditional students. In my personal life, I have championed veteran causes, relationship-enriching programs, and the creation of support programs and training for transplants (individuals living away from family and community).
