I began my military journey in 1997 as an E1 in the Army, later earning a commission as a Military Intelligence officer upon graduating from West Point in 2004. Over my career, I’ve deployed twice to Iraq, become a Senior Jumpmaster, earned three master’s degrees, and broken barriers as the first woman and intelligence officer to serve as Chief of Plans for the XVIII Airborne Corps. I’ve also served as Aide-de-Camp to the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.Beyond the military, I am the COO and Chief Advisor for the Walk the Talk Foundation, LLC, where I focus on legislative and policy reforms, including restructuring the DoD IG system and revisiting the Feres Doctrine. I share my insights weekly through The DoD Times newsletter and have appeared on multiple podcasts advocating for accountability and transparency within the Department of Defense. My awards and honors reflect a career dedicated to service and sacrifice for our Nation.
