Alfredo Torres _Transitioning Military THE GUY THAT KNOWS THE GUY

Sunday Feb 07, 2021

Alfredo Torres:

What does a Navy Veteran, Radio Personality, EMT, Academic Advisor, Safety Inspector, Blogger, Military Admissions Advisor, Shipboard Instructor, Adjunct Professor, Podcast Host, and Career Advisor have in common? Beyond being positions that I have held throughout this great adventure, the core of all these positions is to help people move forward in achieving their goals. My passion and purpose are to be an instrument for change for veterans and transitioning service members to move beyond the uniform. Drawing from my unique journey, I can connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds to help them see the potential within, the tools available, and how to bring these together to create their success.

I am open to all opportunity which can allow me to continue my mission of helping others.
