EAGLES WHO HAVE SERVED.
Luis Artigas ’22 BRANCH: U.S. Air Force B.S. in Safety Management (BSSM)
Lucia Karnes ’14, ’21 BRANCH: U.S. Army
While serving overseas in the U.S. Army, Lucia Karnes came across an Embry-Riddle Worldwide sign and took the opportunity to learn more about the learning options offered in online programs. Since she previously earned her B.S. in Air Traffic Management at the Daytona Beach Campus, she decided it was time to pursue her master’s degree and joined the M.S. in Unmanned Systems program. Although military life presents its own obstacles to completing coursework, she said that professors and other students were very understanding of the constraints she had. Karnes now utilizes knowledge from both Embry-Riddle programs in her role as a Division Manager at Boeing Intelligence & Analytics.
student Luis Artigas works in Occupational and Weapons Safety in the Air Force. When he is not on duty, he works as a Warehouse Health and Safety Specialist at Amazon Logistics. Artigas is able to apply lessons learned in the BSSM program to his work, and vice versa. He attributes much of his success in the safety field to the classes he has taken through Embry-Riddle Worldwide. “Had I not taken these classes, my mishap investigation skills wouldn’t have been broadened. I would have solely focused on what I learned from the Air Force. Taking these courses opened my mind to other possibilities and gave me that experience to be able to produce better reports and make better safety recommendations.”
