Military ServiceI grew up in Sacramento, CA, and graduated from Mira Loma High School. I graduated from CSU, Sacramento with a degree in Economics.
After 7 years on Active Duty, as a captain, I joined the Air Force Reserves, at Mather AFB, Rancho Cordova, CA. In 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, I volunteered to deploy to Saudi Arabia to fly air refueling missions in support of Desert Shield. In January, 1991, my squadron was activated and I flew missions as an Aircraft Commander during the Gulf War, known as Desert Storm. It was the first time in US history that women were allowed to fly combat missions. My military awards include:
