"Her life shifted completely after a near-fatal battle with viral meningitis. The resulting neurological trauma forced her into intensive therapy and a profound journey of self-rediscovery — a process she now calls the "Strategic Reset.""
Today, DeeDee is the founder of Veterans Speak Media and founder/editor of the Veteran Next Weekly newsletter. She has returned to the public speaking circuit to merge her elite military communication expertise with her personal story of survival, teaching others how to successfully navigate life's most demanding transitions.
