As a US Army Officer, and especially trained Nurse Frances is a Compassionate Leader. At her last duty station, the 79th Sustainment Support Command, Frances completed 32 years of Active Duty and Reserve service with elite accolades.
Frances prepared and executed her dreams by sharpening her skills and education as a writer and producer. She is honored to be featured in the artistic mural masterpiece “Freedom of Assembly” by Kent Twitchell which graces the walls at the Bob Hope Patriotic Hall in Downtown Los Angeles, CA. She shares that it takes the spirit and will greater than oneself to be resilient and to be able to “handle anything” yet the transition from Camies2Civies out of the Army and into a gainful Civilian life of purpose takes a Tribe of comrades and professionals to aid in the process of healthy retirement.
In 2021, Frances served another term out of retirement and donned her US Army uniform and put her own life at risk to serve others. By accepting a role on the US Army 2020 COVID OPS team Frances made history with fellow US Army personnel to help care for the deployed, ill, injured, and wounded service members overseas.

Frances will allow us a portal into her life and experiences to give us fuel to persist and coping skills to confront the world’s most detrimental crises such as homelessness, isolation, loneliness and fear.
