00:00.140 --> 00:02.362
a strong woman in the military . That's

00:02.362 --> 00:03.560
funny . Um

00:07.340 --> 00:10.650
it's really a male dominated

00:10.660 --> 00:12.660
career no matter what branch you're

00:12.660 --> 00:15.340
looking at . So getting to represent

00:15.350 --> 00:17.461
other females and , you know , show a

00:17.461 --> 00:20.940
presence of confidence and confidence ,

00:20.940 --> 00:23.240
I guess you could say um being in a

00:23.240 --> 00:25.400
leadership role as a woman as well .

00:25.410 --> 00:28.250
It's it's been awesome because it shows

00:28.250 --> 00:30.306
that , you know , our senior leaders

00:30.306 --> 00:32.250
aren't looking at gender , they're

00:32.250 --> 00:34.139
looking at capability and I think

00:34.139 --> 00:36.361
that's extremely important , especially

00:36.361 --> 00:38.528
for younger girls , women , airmen who

00:38.528 --> 00:40.583
can see , you know , there's another

00:40.583 --> 00:42.694
female leader here , I can do that as

00:42.694 --> 00:44.917
well , I can strive and I don't have to

00:44.917 --> 00:47.028
put myself in a smaller box because I

00:47.028 --> 00:49.139
don't think it's possible . I guess I

00:49.139 --> 00:51.139
would just encourage everyone , you

00:51.139 --> 00:53.361
know , especially females to strive for

00:53.361 --> 00:55.250
what you wanna do . You know , if

00:55.250 --> 00:55.080
there's something you want to go for a

00:55.080 --> 00:57.191
position you want to be in , it's not

00:57.191 --> 00:59.700
impossible , um and just use you as

00:59.700 --> 01:02.330
your authentic self to to push forward

01:02.330 --> 01:04.740
and in your journey as a airman ,

01:04.750 --> 01:06.417
eventually as a leader in the

01:06.417 --> 01:09.070
organization and just do this , try to

01:09.070 --> 01:09.760
get where you want to go .
