Ensign Francesca Bejarano, a native of Findlay, Ohio, will graduate from the Navy’s Officer Candidate School (OCS) on Nov. 22.

Bejarano is a 2020 graduate of Findlay High School and a 2024 Ohio State University graduate.

“I joined the Navy to experience new opportunities such as meeting and leading diverse groups, traveling around the world, serving my country and continuing my family tradition of service,” said Bejarano.

The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Findlay.

“My hometown community taught me respect, initiative and inclusivity,” said Bejarano.

“Those values will help me become a transformational naval officer in the fleet.”
