OBLD 634 Blog (Oct 24)

  Hello All !   My name is James Roach. I grew up in San Antonio, Tx and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1996 with a degree in Economics. I flew the P-3 Orion for the Navy for 21 years of combined service on active duty and in the reserves . After leaving active duty, I transitioned to commercial aviation and joined Southwest Airlines as a pilot. I currently am the C hief Pilot for Southwest Airlines in Orlando, Florida. I have been married for 24 years and we have 5 kids, 18-year-old Triplets , a 16- year-old, and a 9-year-old and we live on a farm in central Florida. When  not in the office or an airplane , you can usually find me at one of my kids ' school or sporting event s , church function s or driving a tractor on the farm.   My personal ethical framework is based on a religious and military background that encouraged honesty, care for others and the importance of building trust with those around me. My success as a spouse, parent and leader...

  Hello, my name is Jacqueline Arevalo, but I go by Jackie. I am a proud dog owner of two wonderful pups named Bubbles and Charlie. Bubbles is a 10-year-old Malti-poo and Charlie is a 5-year-old French bulldog. During my free time I enjoy traveling, going on walks, trying different coffeeshops, reading, going to the beach, and visiting family. I am currently not involved in any activities at Embry-Riddle; however, I am employed by ERAU worldwide. My career goal is to work with a special education department to identify or design quality educational programs that incorporate various learning modalities and techniques. My previous experience with an assessment team allowed me to recognize the significant gap in services and the challenges families face in finding appropriate support and getting it approved by their insurance. Unfortunately, special education services have increasingly prioritized cost-effectiveness over being child focused. Through this course, I aim to deepen my und...

Hello everyone,   My name is Bridget White and I am in my final two courses before I complete my Capstone! I started my degree last October and time has really flown by. I currently work at General Dynamics Mission Systems as an engineer. I am about halfway through a three-year rotational program in our manufacturing department and I have enjoyed it so far. I’ve mainly been working on products for our Army and N avy which has kept things interesting. I’ve also gotten to travel for work so it’s neat to see other company sites.   I am originally from central Massachusetts and I moved to Alabama for five years during college. I am now back in Massachusetts living the city life in Boston. For hobbies outside of work and class, I love watching sports and going to concerts. I have been a musician all my life so I love finding new music .   My career goals right now are to finish up my rotational program then land a permanent spot as a manufacturing engineer. I am sti...

 

 Hello all, My name is Vincent Stack. I go by Vinny for short, and this is my ninth class in the Leadership program, almost done! I am a husband to an amazing wife, Emily, and a father of one rambunctious three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. As for career stuff, I graduated from Arizona State University in 2015 and joined the Air Force through Officer Training School (OTS) shortly after. I spent my first five years in the Air Force as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) pilot, and in 2021, I made a career change by going through Pilot Training to become an F-15E Pilot. I recently finished the myriad of training required to do that and just moved from North Carolina to Europe for an overseas assignment. My big career goals mainly involve continuing to better myself and others around me, and I hope to do that with help from these courses.  From this class, I hope to learn new perspectives from diverse sets of viewpoints and gain a more in-depth understanding of the role of ethics i...
