Fear & Courage

CPT Maggie Smith is a US Army Cyber Officer with over 14 years of experience as both an enlisted Soldier and commissioned Officer. She is currently on Advanced Civil Schooling orders to George Washington University (GWU) and is a second-year Ph.D. student of public policy. She commissioned as a 2LT and earned her MPP with a focus in Homeland Security and Intelligence Policy at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy while doing the Army's Green to Gold Program to earn her commission. Maggie dealt with the challenge of a positive BRCA2 genetic test and subsequent health decisions while serving on active duty and hasn’t allowed that to slow her down at all. Maggie is also an ultra runner, mom, and wife to Patrick, also a US Army Veteran, and is looking forward to an assignment teaching at West Point.
