While pursuing my Master of Business Administration degree, I built a client-centered personal training business from the ground up. Physical fitness and healthy living have long been personal priorities, contributing to my earlier career successes in combat environments typically restricted to male service members. Building upon my performance as a nationally ranked competitive bodybuilder, I earned certifications as both a Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor to support the launch of Nordico Fitness, a social media-centered wellness business offering both general healthy living tips and personalized workout/meal plans.Faced with the challenges of COVID restrictions in a field that relies on in-person appointments, I overhauled my service delivery platform and identified inventive ways to meet the unique needs of each client through web-based consultations and fitness sessions.

As an Intelligence Analyst, I supported ongoing surveillance missions worldwide through live imagery analysis and exploitation to deliver time-sensitive intelligence regarding real or perceived threats. Drawing upon years of military intelligence experience, I played a key role in achieving both strategic and tactical goals aimed at removing threats from active combat zones.

Through a DoD Skills Bridge partnership between the U.S. Army and DEFENSEWERX, I served as Director of Marketing for a six-month rebranding project and developed the company’s first strategic marketing plan.

Serving as Executive Officer and later as a Special Forces Battalion Senior Intelligence Officer, I oversaw initiatives to ensure optimal success of intelligence activities in support of more than 500 special operations personnel across 12 countries in Latin American and the Middle East.

Performing key mission planning and oversight roles, I facilitated the completion of combat missions, 400 missions across 3 provinces while deployed to Iraq.Additionally, I was honored to be selected from pool of more than 100 applicants to serve as the sole female soldier on a Cultural Support Team, working with special operations units in Afghanistan to engage with targeted populations of women and children to fill intelligence gaps. Our team used information gathered to work with Afghan district leaders to develop strategic plans to improve standards of living for marginalized populations throughout the province.
