After graduating college with a BA in International Relations and then working in an alcohol and drug abuse clinic, I decided to join the Navy to see the world. As an intelligence officer, I learned a lot and saw a lot, got my MS in Organizational Leadership, deployed to the Middle East, and yes, even got to see more of the world. After 20 years, I retired from the Navy ready to start a new adventure. I’m looking forward to more traveling, hiking, dancing, playing with my dogs, and waiting for that quiet moment when I can catch up on my reading.
