About
Hi, my name is Katy - I am the Assistant Program Coordinator with AllegiantVets assisting with onboarding, records management, and other administrative needs. I am also a transitioning Service Member who recently separated from the United States Marine Corps. I was working in Human Resources during my time in service, and I am continuing to pursue a career in HR. As I began separating from Active Duty, it became apparent that Service Members are given little time/support to separate from service. Some of my passions have included assisting Service Members with the knowledge they need to be equipped to separate successfully. Transitioning out of service can be a very lonely and overwhelming time. Part of AllegiantVets' mission is to try and mitigate the loneliness and ensure all Service Members know they have an entire community behind them cheering them on. In terms of my skillset, I have extensive knowledge of Microsoft and Google Suite as well as knowledge of Zoom Host/Co-Host. I welcome the opportunity to connect with you!!
Some of my skills include being an experienced Blogger with a demonstrated history of working in the publishing industry. I am skilled in the Microsoft Suite - including Teams. I am a strong marketing professional with a Bachelor’s Degree focused in Broadcast Journalism from Tarleton State University. I am also experienced in administration and Human Resources, accounts, and records management with two years of experience in the HR industry.
