Portraits of Diversity
1. What is your name and what do you do in the Coast Guard? "I'm Kasey Stamper and I am an engineer, boarding officer and boat crew member at Station Cape May. I assist with the repair/replacement of all mechanical aspects, as well as respond to Search and Rescue and conduct Law Enforcement." 2. Describe diversity in a word or two and explain what it means to you. "I chose acceptance and respect to represent diversity because it best depicts what our country represents." 3. How has your experience and background prepared you to be effective at your job? "My background and experience has prepared me to be effective at my job because I joined the Coast Guard at a later age and was able to mature and build a solid work-ethic to base my career off of." 4. Tell me a little bit about your life outside of work. "Outside of work, I enjoy everything sun, sand, and saltwater related! I also work out and play video games!"
