Philadelphia Eagles Hometown Hero

I am a retired Army Sergeant First Class (SFC) Veteran, a mother of three, and a volunteer Philadelphia Platoon Leader with the Travis Manion Foundation (TMF).

During my 26 years of service in the U.S. Army and 10 years of civilian service for the Department of Defense (DOD), I managed and supported both soldiers and civilian personnel. As an enlisted soldier, I served as a Medical Logistics Specialist, Civil Affairs Specialist, Personnel Administration Specialist, and Food Service Specialist. I also served as a Unit Administrator and Staff Operation and Training Specialist for the DOD. I received achievement awards in all of these specialties for my positive impact on the lives of the soldiers and civilians I served. Throughout my military career, I acted as a vital link between U.S. military commanders, local civilian populations, and humanitarian agencies during combat, disaster, and peacekeeping missions.

Today, I continue my mission of service by implementing wellness measures in my life, which include serving the elderly and veterans. Through the Travis Manion Foundation, which empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations, I serve the community through urban beautification projects such as planting flowers, cleaning public parks, and painting buildings.
