NSAJ 07: Alessia Garcia

Inspired by the Storm Troopers as a child, Alessia Garcia pursued her dream of joining the Air Force right out of high school in 2009 as a Security Forces airman. During a long and chaotic deployment in Afghanistan, Alessia found peace interacting with the local children on base that eventually manifested into a holistic medicine she would tap into years later while finding herself in a dark space.
