No one prepared me for the mental exhaustion that goes into writing a professional summary for a doctoral program resume... 😅

Finally stopped trying to prove people wrong and decided to prove myself right.

Officially closing this chapter with a heart overflowing with gratitude for my giant support system. 🎓

Time to relax a little bit for the first time in the last 12 months. 😅

Off to commencement! 🎓

We made it to Louisville! And just in time for the College of Education awards ceremony, where I was honored to be recognized as the Outstanding Military Graduate Student in Higher Education.

Absolutely beautiful event, and a privilege to be surrounded by so many accomplished people!

And we're off to Kentucky!

Thankful I snagged a man willing to be stuck in a car with me for 60+ hours this week. 🤣

Three more days! 🎓

I was honored to be recently interviewed by Amanda on her podcast, Women of the Military. Feel free to check it out. Thank you for the opportunity to tell my story Amanda!

How do you make a Sunday PHA better?

You bring 25 essays to grade while waiting in long lines all day, knowing that's the final thing you have to do for the semester. 😅

I'm not exactly a huge Taylor Swift fan, but after finding this, I'm assuming my 6-year-old son is. 😅

A month ago, my girl had never even touched a softball. On Tuesday, she pitched her first Majors game.

Tonight, watching Auburn Softball, she decided she wants to be just like Madison Penta someday. ❤️

I'm so impressed by her newfound love and dedication to this sport. 🥎

Today marks a decade since commissioning, and next month marks 15 years since enlisting.

What a crazy ride it's been!

Twitter, please help!

One of my Cadets was selected for an NSA internship this summer and is being asked for a resume. I'm hoping to find other schools who have sent a Cadet to NSA who might be able to send me an example of one they put forward!

Thanks!

Today, our Cadets and Cadre all swapped our typical Wednesday uniforms for jeans in honor of #DenimDay2024 .

Made it in time to watch my girl's first ever fastpitch game! Three weeks ago, she'd never even touched a softball or bat. Tonight, she not only got a hit, she got an RBI!!

Even though she got out at first, you'd think she'd hit a Grand Slam with how loud we all cheered! 🥎💜
