What did you find appealing about MPA?
I saw lots of things the job description that I have done in the past. That gave me confidence in my skill set to handle and manage those projects. I also very much enjoy the office atmosphere.

I want to climb the ladder and be appreciated for my hard work.

We are passionate about outdoor activities. Sports, camping, fishing, and hunting are big for us. We enjoy family activities, bonding games for group activities, and team-building exercises.
What’s a fun fact about you that our community would love to know?
A fun fact about myself is that I am not really into any sweet desserts, such as cake. I haven’t even eaten my own birthday cake since I was a child.
