Through stories of challenge and growth, she reflects on what it means to lead with empathy, maintain composure under pressure, and stay grounded while navigating life at sea as a woman in the military.  Now pursuing her MBA at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business as both a Forté Fellow and an EDGE Impact Scholar, Whitney discusses how her naval experiences have shaped her approach to collaboration, adaptability, and purpose-driven leadership. She opens up about balancing her roles as an officer, student, wife, and mother of two, offering honest insights into resilience, identity, and grace in the face of competing priorities. As she prepares to report to the USS HARRY S.
