How fighting pirates in the Navy helped prepare this COO to run operations for a nonprofit

Did you know you could serve as an Hydrographer/Sonar Tech in the Navy? I really enjoyed hearing about Alicia's experience in the Navy and a career field I had never heard about. She attended the Naval Academy and then went to get her masters at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. After graduation she went to serve aboard a ship and was able to deploy twice. today, Alicia serves as New Politics’ COO where she applies many of these lessons from the field into her role, instigating a mission-driven culture that encourages diversity, equity, and inclusion.
