About Me
How long have you been with GallantFew?
I’ve worked for GallantFew for nearly a year.
Where were you born and raised?
I was born and raised in Green Bay, WI (GO PACK GO!).
What is your connection to the military?
I’m an active duty military spouse and have been for nearly ten years.
What fuels you?
I have always been called to help others and make a difference. My goals have pulled me towards advocacy related work, particularly with nonprofit organizations. I focus on loving the organization I work for and with, and ensuring their mission is something I align with and help further. My mom raised me with the “cliche” attitude to do what I love and love what I do.
What is your area of expertise?
My educational background is in psychology – I possess a masters degree in military psychology. My professional experience is in hospitality and tourism, and I thrive on caring for others whether professionally or personally.
What do you do to relax?
In my free time I love to spend time with my husband and our dog enjoying the great outdoors, traveling, and doing jigsaw puzzles (my brain never relaxes!).
With whom and where do you live?
I live with my husband and our purebred mutt dog, Maizy, in Fort Benning, Georgia.
Who is your role model?
I have several role models, all strong, empowered women in my life. Each of these individuals has strong morals, confidence, and knows when to have fun.
