My name is Yori. I was born and raised in Nigeria. When I was sixteen I moved to America. My uncle in Virginia adopted me, and that’s where I ended up continuing my homeschool education. After graduating from high school, I moved to Tennessee to attend college. After one semester, I decided to join the Army.

After serving eight years in the Army, I decided to get out and finish school; I wanted to do something more for my community and myself. I graduated this past December of 2019 with a degree in applied sciences with a focus on unmanned aerial systems. I hope to be able to use the knowledge that I’ve gained so far to make a difference in other peoples lives.

There are definitely silver linings to the challenges we’ve faced with the pandemic. VetsWork @AmeriCorps intern Melissa shares in her blog, “My internship has been much different than expected with the Covid-19 outbreak.  I have spent many hours working from home.  Although this is not ideal it’s given me time to research and understand some of the history of the Forest Service and therefore have a deeper respect for the work that is being done.” Read more about Melissa’s experience in VetsWork via the link in bio! Also, swipe right for Melissa’s favorite coworker aka cuteness overload!!!
