Army National Guard for her service and impact.
She maintains relationships with senior-level stakeholders across government, defense, and
private sectors, and is actively engaged in advancing large-scale initiatives such as
Operation AquaShield, focused on protecting critical water, energy, and agricultural
infrastructure
