My name is Nina Cuevas, Class of 2005, from Yonkers, New York.  I am the Far West Outreach Officer and absolutely LOVE this job. During my high school years I was the swim team captain and class president.  I attended USMAPS and was the yearbook editor (I was the layout editor in HS).  At West Point I was the class historian and I'm currently the Reunion Chairwoman for my 5 year class reunion.  While a cadet I was on my company Sandhurst Team (GO DRAGONS! And DUKES!) and was on the USMA SCUBA team.  I was stationed to Fort Campbell, KY and deployed to Iraq twice with them as an Army Engineer.  Prior to my decision to attend West Point I was involved in a competitive program to attend art school, wore platform shoes and polished my nails green, blue, yellow and every other color under the sun.  While a junior I learned about West Point and I was hooked.  9 years later, I wouldn't change my decision for the world.
