“ALL OF US HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. THE
MILITARY HELPED ME LEARN HOW TO GET EVERYONE ON THE TEAM TO ACHIEVE
THAT POTENTIAL.”

Inspired by the contributions of those who served in the U.S. military before him, Joseph grew up wanting to serve. As a military officer, he has deployed to multiple theaters overseas and he continues to serve today. Joseph is pursuing a master’s in public administration (MPA) at the Harvard Kennedy School. His ambition is to leverage the lessons he learns there to help advance peace and freedom around the world.
