This week’s #FirstieFriday is Lyssa Kagel, coming to us from Ellicott City, Maryland. 🦀
 
Lyssa is majoring in Data Science and hopes to be an Operations Research Analyst when she graduates.

Both of her parents attended @westpoint_usma and served in the @usarmy, further igniting her passion to serve.

Lyssa has fond memories of her time at #youracademy, including participating in 'Ops Air Force' at @macdillafb, where she got to ride in a Blackhawk over the ocean, and also spending a summer at the White House.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐬: Work hard, make time for the people you love, and focus on what makes you happy…everything else will fall into place.
