Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in political science and history from the University of Notre Dame.
After graduating, I joined the U.S. Navy as a nuclear submarine officer and was part of the first generation of women to serve on submarines.
I spent seven years in the Navy and realized I wanted to keep working in something like nuclear energy after getting out.
Finding a role in an industry I liked and in the places I wanted to live was difficult, but I fortunately found a position in renewable energy in upstate New York, a place we did want to live in.
I joined GE Renewable Energy through the Junior Officer Leadership Program for former military officers.
I now work for GE Renewable Energy as a commercial leader for offshore wind services.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
I recommend reaching out to people in the industry to learn more. Utilize LinkedIn to find people to talk to. More often than not, people are more than willing to lend a few minutes of their time to help you learn and articulate how and where you want to be a part of this industry.

The Noise I Shed
From Myself:
"I made a mistake. That's not okay. I can't move on from this."
