Civilian job: West Virginia University Student/Clinical Associate at Ruby Memorial Hospital
Education: I am a 2018 graduate of James Buchanan High School. I graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health at WVU and am currently in the accelerated nursing program to get my BSN in 2024.
Hobbies: Working out, traveling, concerts, WVU sporting events
Goals (military and/or civilian): I would like to eventually be a travel nurse and potentially commission!
I am proudest of: The independence the military has given me
People may be surprised to know this about me: My family didn’t force me to join (Editor’s note: Staff Sgt. Ramsey is one of five members of the Ramsey family currently serving at the 167th AW)
The most exciting thing I've done in the military is: Meet new people, see new places and gain new skills.
One/Some of the most valuable lessons I've learned throughout my career: It’s okay to fail. The journey will always lead you to a valuable outcome, even if it wasn’t the expected outcome.
Always keep your goals in the back of your head. Life might change your priorities, but each step should be towards a goal.
My advice to the newest Airmen in the Wing: Make as many relationships as you can. Whether it is during drill weekends or while on orders, you will most likely run into them again.
The best thing about working with my team is: Seeing how different approaches can lead to a solution.
