More About Eileen:
An international pilot, Eileen is also the Lead Author for USAFA Women Writers and a debut author of her own memoir who knows the transformative power of storytelling. Eileen was the first woman to serve as an Advance Agent to the President of the United States. A decorated US Air Force pilot, she flew high-performance jets, trained combat pilots and instructors to evade being missile-locked on combat missions, airlifted humanitarian relief to war-torn regions, resupplied radar sites on dirt strips in the Amazon jungles, cut the ribbon opening the Military Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, commanded a squadron, and crumbled barriers to women serving their country. Following her retirement from the Air Force, Eileen joined a Fortune 500® before founding and leading her own firm. She eventually divested it to focus all of her “Tenacious She-Warrior” life energies on surviving breast cancer.

Remaining a sought-after consultant, she was brought into the C-suite of a Texas firm experiencing scaling challenges. While being treated and healing, she built and successfully executed Operation High Flight, her personal campaign to return to the flight deck. As she rejoined life, she was an active member of the North Texas General Aviation community, flight instructed, taught as a college adjunct, flew volunteer Angel Flight missions, and lent her considerable expertise to the organizing and executing of airlift relief operations to South Texas and Florida following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. She subsequently returned to Virginia to fly Boeing 767s for a global charter enterprise, and now flies corporate executive aircraft. The daughter of an international airline pilot, Eileen grew up immersed in the cultures of our world across three continents, from British primary education and picnicking in the Hindu Kush; to sharing fish with Bedouins, tea with Kazakh merchants, and shopping in the sooqs of Jeddah; to thwarting the nuns while attending boarding school in Italy. She holds an undergraduate degree from the US Air Force Academy and two post-graduate degrees.

All that said, she is happiest when lost amidst the giggles of her granddaughters, or cloud-chasing without spilling passenger drinks. When she’s not at 40,000 feet in her front-row seat to the Universe, she makes her home in the Northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
