Retired Army Veteran, Veteran Advocate and Ms. Veteran America Semi-Finalist
I am a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 with 20 years of active-duty service in leadership, intelligence, civil affairs, and criminal investigative roles. Throughout my military career, I served as a Supply Sergeant, Civil Affairs NCO, Military Intelligence Officer, and Supervisory Special Agent with the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division (DACID). I deployed in support of Special Operations missions in Africa and Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom and became a credentialed Crime Scene Technician through the National Forensic Academy.
Today, I remain passionate about serving the veteran community through advocacy, suicide prevention awareness, and outreach initiatives that support veterans and military families. I proudly support America's Warrior Partnership and their “Know a Vet, Tell a Vet” campaign, which focuses on strengthening connection, awareness, and peer support within the veteran community. As a contestant in the Ms. Veteran America competition, I am also honored to support Final Salute Inc. and advocate for homeless women veterans and their children nationwide.
