A decorated retired U.S. Army officer with over 26 years of service, I made history as the first woman from the U.S. Army to serve as a White House Physician Assistant and Tactical Medical Officer.

After transitioning from military to executive roles, I served as Director of Advance and Operations.
-
As a civilian, I served as Assistant Director of Public Health at the White House, shaping policies and national drug control strategies.
