Jessica Garcia

Jessica Garcia joined the Air Force in 2008 as a Security Forces Defender, and currently serves as a Paralegal at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Jessica is seen as a “Stellar troop” performing well beyond her peers. She was even recognized as the first female in the Security Forces to earn the “Top Physically Fit” award at an Advanced Combat Skills Competition. Her tenacity led to her being the first member of her family to graduate high school and get accepted into college for a soccer scholarship. She said, “I felt that I led by example in demonstrating to my siblings and family that there is no limit to what they can do.” Jessica does not let her illness define her, and says, “They remind me that if I am capable of giving more, then I should give it my all and not cheat myself out of my purpose and gift in life.”
