Theresa Carpenter

I am a trusted naval communication strategist and Navy commander with 28 years of service. As a prior enlisted Sailor, I have experienced multiple deployments overseas and have faced numerous combat zones.

In the last three years, I've hosted the podcast S.O.S. (Stories of Service), which explores service as a path to healing and those making transformational changes to help others thrive. You can tune in live every Thursday at 2 pm EST, or catch up on episodes wherever you find your podcasts.

My professional background showcases diverse skills, including innovation, technical expertise, advocacy, strategic vision, and a penchant for thinking outside the box. I have successfully executed targeted media placements and orchestrated an organization's first proactive communication campaign, striving for excellence in every endeavor.

Join me in celebrating the inspiring stories of those who serve.
