How do you define success?
For me, success is about impact. It’s knowing that because of our work, a veteran in a small town who once felt forgotten now has a reason to get up in the morning, a community around them, and a path forward. Success is measured in stories, in lives changed, and in the ripple effect that happens when people feel seen, supported, and valued.
How did you get started in your field of work?
I started this work because I couldn’t ignore what I was seeing. As a military spouse surrounded by veterans, I saw how many of them, especially in rural communities, were slipping through the cracks. They weren’t broken or unwilling; they just lacked access, connection, and opportunity. That pushed me to co-found Operation Honor: Rural Salute™ to meet veterans where they are and help them build what comes next. What started as a mission to help a few families has grown into a movement to make sure no veteran is left behind simply because of where they live
