My 5 Key Lessons from 2020 by Bruce Temkin

High-Intensity Life
Growing up as an inner-city girl in Denver, Colorado, she knew she loved STEM and wanted to be an engineer. The military academies weren't an option presented in her district, yet she found her way in front of an interview panel seeking a congressional nomination to the U.S. Air Force Academy. She received nominations to all of the academies and ended up at the U.S. Navy Academy.
U.S. Navy Reserve Cmdr. Kimberly Martinez holds a very demanding role in the Navy Reserve as part of the Coastal Riverine community alongside her civilian engineering role with Raytheon. She just returned from a deployment in February and is currently on separate reserve orders as an instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy, where her career first started.
She is both an example and a witness to the talent, perseverance, creativity, and aptitude of the servicemembers serving our country in the military reserve.

For the Greater Good
How does it feel to sit down to the first Thanksgiving you and your husband and children have shared together in three years? The Cunningham family is grateful. Navy Reserve Lt. Jennifer Cunningham left for a deployment to Djibouti just two days after her husband retired from active-duty service.
Her deployment was extended as COVID-19 pandemic protocols were put in place. When Jennifer finally made it home to her family after 14 months, she came home not only to changes in her daughters and husband but to the entire world around her that no longer felt familiar.
During this episode host Lesley Lykins and Lt. Jennifer Cunningham discuss gratitude and resilience.
