    “Aside from her outstanding work ethic, one of the things that caught our attention was how App interacts with the other Marines,” said Quan. “The Marines seek her out and trust her judgment for advice both in and out of the work environment. She is a highly dependable asset to the office and continues to strive to better herself and the Marines around her.”

    According to App, volunteering her time to serve others has always been something she has taken pride in. Some of the organizations she has actively participated in include the Carteret County Humane Society Animal Shelter, the New Bern Soup Kitchen and Creekside Elementary School.

    “Community service and volunteering are both as important for us as the volunteers as the recipient,” said App. “It truly is special.

That character is what I think can strengthen those individuals that strive to be involved.”
