During college she joined the U.S. Army Reserve in order to fund her schooling and because of her desire to serve her country. She was the only female cadet enrolled in BYU’s ROTC program at that time, and the second woman commissioned through the program. In 2010 she was deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
