Clarissa Cadena

Clarissa Cadena

Clarissa Cadena was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, and moved to Colorado in 2013 with her family. As a single mother of three young girls, Ms. Cadena managed to complete her undergraduate degree while working full time and taking a minor break to join the Army Reserves as an MP. 

Ms. Cadena’s academic background consists of a Bachelors of Science in Business Management and she is currently a candidate of the MS International Business program at CU Denver. Through her education and CIBERVets, Ms. Cadena has learned the importance of globalization and how more organizations are veering towards outsourcing. Ms. Cadena believes that the MSIB program paired with her experiences and connections through CIBERVets will grant her numerous exciting career options upon graduation. Her hope is to find an ethical and reputable organization to grow with and possibly continue her educational career to obtain a PhD. 

Timothy "Chuck" Nicholls

Chuck Nicholls served in the Air Force for 10 years before separating in January 2021 as a Staff Sergeant and transitioning into the Air National Guard. Mr. Nicholls is currently part of the Tactical Air Control Party career field where he is responsible for the coordination, planning, and control of aircraft and helicopter air support. He served two deployments overseas, one to Afghanistan where he trained and advised the Afghan National Army, and one to Europe, primarily in Poland, where he had the opportunity to work and train with various countries in support of NATO missions.

While in the Air Force, Mr. Nicholls earned his Associate in Applied Science in Information Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. He also graduated from the American Military University with a Bachelor of Arts in Entrepreneurship with a Concentration in Sports Business.
