Carrie Perez

I served in the United States Air Force, Active Duty and then in the Michigan Air National Guard for a total of 9 years from 1997-2006 in Financial Management.
I earned my Masters Degree in Business Organizational Management in 2005, and Bachelors Degree in Business Leadership in 2004. I have extensive customer service skills that have come with my career field.
I was stationed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah while Active Duty. I served in all sections of Finance and Accounting including Orders Certification, Funds Approval, Contracts Payable and Receivable, Medical Account loads, Travel Pay, Military Pay, and was the Self Aid and Buddy Care trainer for our unit. I also assisted in the inventory and assistance of computer systems and technology and tracking within our facility.
I deployed to Prince Sultan Air Base in 2000.
In 2001, after serving 4 years in Active Duty, I joined the Michigan Air National Guard, Selfridge ANGB where I continued my role in Financial Management in both Technician and military roles. I separated in 2006 after being activated a majority of that time due to 9/11 operations.
I also have worked for the USDA Forest Service in Michigan as a Financial Management technician for two years with some forest fire training.
I am a proud parent to four children- three wonderful boys and a little girl, currently living in one of the most beautiful places in Michigan, where we spend a lot of time in the water or woods that our area in Antrim County is known for. I enjoy connecting with people, especially my fellow veterans and their families and helping with any needs that they may have, including camaraderie that we all often miss from our time in service.
