As a military spouse, I noticed that I was not given support or tools to help when my husband was facing a major mental health crisis. As I researched this and started reaching out to people, I noticed this was common and I set out to change it.

As I progressed in this journey, I became involved in working groups to change Department of the Air Force policy and approach to spouses. I was able to provide a voice that needed one and support other spouses also walking through this. Helping and supporting military families, spouses, and members has become a passion of mine.
