I was privileged to have received an NMIF scholarship last year, and want to give back to support an organization that prioritizes guiding policymakers to ensure enduring peace. NMIF helped open doors for me, and I want to continue to pay it forward and help bring others to the table, especially women. When my community succeeds, I succeed. The gala was a fantastic opportunity to meet mentors with decades of experience, and I want others to be able to have as many resources as possible for their own careers as well for the most talented and hard working future practitioners.

Bridging the gaps between military and civilian leaders within the intelligence community is critical to our national success, and NMIF plays a key role in making that happen. I’m grateful to be part of this mission and excited to support others on this path!
