IN THE COMMUNITY
COP Keating & Gold Star Families
Care Team Coordinator for 3-61 CAV, 4BCT, 4ID at Fort Carson. The squadron's deployment is documented in Jake Tapper's NYT bestseller The Outpost. Eleven soldiers were lost during a single deployment. Since the Battle of COP Keating, I've served Gold Star families and consulted military command on grief, the notification process, and care team development.
Couples & Team Retreats
Working alongside my husband Matthew, a US military chaplain, we've facilitated marriage retreats for military couples around the world. Our USO "You're Leaving Again?" series reached couples globally and was written during our own deployment separation. As a Gallup Strengths Coach, I invest in individuals and teams who want to excel in their relationships and leadership.
