USCG Auxiliary Certificates for DCDR and FC Service
It is a pleasure to have served as the USCG Auxiliary Division 2 Commander and Guam Flotilla Commander. Carrying out missions to augment the USCG, making our waterways safe, saving lives one boater at a time, and essentially positively impacting our community, is what we do to make a difference! I received the certificates below for my service, and I encourage others to do the same. Semper Paratus!

USCGAUX Spring D14 2023 D-Train A Success!
The District 14 Spring 2023 D-TRAIN held March 3-5, 2023 in Hawaii was indeed memorable. There's no doubt that I found the training and fellowship to be meaningful. I am also deeply honored to receive awards for the service I have done. The highlight was when our Guam Flotilla was awarded for being the best Flotilla in District 14! Way to go, Guam! Bravo Zulu!

NABE Conference Meaningful
The 52nd National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) Conference in Portland, Oregon was indeed meaningful! Being able to conduct my literacy presentation & represent UOG’s School of Education was truly an honor. We were also in the midst of Portland’s second-worst recorded snowstorm in history! I was freezing every single day! Nevertheless, I also had the opportunity to connect with and debrief daily with my fellow Guam educators & friends. We look forward to bringing back what we’ve learned to empower our students, and more! Si Yu’os Ma’åse’, and enjoy the following snapshots!
