I launched my distinguished career as a successful failure at the Air Force Academy, persevering after becoming the first member of my pilot training class to receive a grade of “Unsatisfactory.” As an Air Force pilot, I flew the Alenia C-27A throughout Central and South America, then moved to Northern California to fly the Lockheed C-5 around the globe. After 9/11, I deployed with a small team to bare bases in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, converting them from austere fields to airlift hubs.
I have dealt with the shame, stigma, struggle and success of being a life-long non-conformist and lesbian in the military’s structured environment. I retired as a Colonel after a 25-year Air Force career leveraging hard work and an ability to view the world through lenses of humor, optimism and perspective. I have survived and thrived as a multi-minority and love to connect with audiences of all ages and walks of life.
I'm out to chart a course for people who want to laugh, learn and think!
