Theresa Carpenter

I am a trusted naval communication strategist and Navy commander with 27 years of service under my belt. As a prior enlisted Sailor, I have experienced multiple deployments overseas and have faced numerous combat zones.

In the last two years, I've turned to hosting a podcast, S.O.S. (Stories of Service), which explores service as a path to healing. Tune in live every Sunday at 2pm EST or catch up on episodes wherever you find your podcasts.

My professional background showcases a diverse range of 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, always striving for excellence in every endeavor.

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