Military Veteran Joins Trident University’s Outreach & Partnerships Team
Cypress, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2017 -- Trident University International's (Trident) Outreach & Partnerships department would like to announce the addition of Israel Reyes as Regional Manager of Strategic Military & Community Relations. He assumed this position in June and oversees the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S.
In this role, Reyes will work directly with military installations, businesses, and community organizations to help them address various collective and individualized educational needs.
Reyes is a 7-year veteran of the United States Army, including four years on active duty and three years in the National Guard. He served as a combat medic and healthcare specialist, where he trained war fighters across all branches of the Combat Lifesaver Force. His combat experiences include Operations Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Passionate about education and its power to positively impact individuals and their communities, Reyes enjoys learning as much as he enjoys sharing the benefits of education with others. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business from the University of Phoenix and is currently enrolled in the Master of Science in Executive Leadership program at Liberty University.
“With his love of learning and understanding of the Trident student experience, I expect Israel to quickly impact the communities in which he serves,” said Esmeralda Silva, Vice President of Outreach and Strategic Alliances.
Reyes previously worked at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ as a University Development Counselor, serving in the Military Division, and as a Military Admissions Officer at Vista College in El Paso, TX.
Additionally, Reyes is fluent in Spanish. In the future he would like to complete a doctoral degree, crediting his 10-year old son and 5-year old daughter as being the motivation for achieving this goal.
