• We really wanted to dive-in and set the stage early so that we're not making dangerous mistakes, and that as we're moving more and more into these technology influenced environments, we could decide, hey this is a risk, this is a potential opportunity, and here's how we balance those out smartly.
  And by getting ahead of it and understanding what these different technologies we're bringing to bear, and how they were changing not just one sector, but sometimes multiple sectors all at once, very fast, was a key insight that came out of this research

• And to see a volunteer effort like this that is so incredibly well-connected internationally, with the various law enforcement's community members to help protect and keep the public safe, and they're coming in to help us as well on the military side to help again identify vulnerabilities early, and protect and sure those up

• You see the WERX models have really spread out now, from Defense WERX, and then NavalX, and its super-exciting, because all of them are connected and talking, and there's this super-cool ecosystem they've developed around it, that is really being impactful and driving positive intervention across the Defense Department, across our agency and allied partners.
  Well, it must have worked well, because as you and I got to know each other before this, your most recent promotion was to Chief Technology Officer of AFWERX. And look I usually don't like these long intros, but I do love the job description that you had down in your profile, "Serves as the lead tech scout for the US Air Force, liaising with sister service, Inter-agency, and Allied partners

• It's really blown me away, it's been a fantastic example of exactly how and why we need these types of spaces, to facilitate that public-private sector team-up, it's very powerful.
  And speaking of these spaces, we recently participated in your AFWERX's Fusion 2020, I think it was your first ever virtual fusion conference

• I've got to say, the WERX idea that Secretary Geurts came up with, that was his idea on the back of a napkin, I saw the original napkin, it was super-cool.
  Acceleration, how can we break things positively and move faster.
  How can we easily identify and write size policy and regulation in areas that are over-regulated.
  How can we provide a safe space to test out emerging technology, to understand the risks and the opportunities.
  How can we also provide a public space that allows us to bring in that deep expertise that we normally can't access in the government; hackers, makers, academics, scientists, and at the same time also explore agile acquisitions.
  So, here is this really cool model that creates a friendly front door to the US Government, for start-ups, for small businesses, individual innovators, and non-traditional, to all come in as they are and contribute

• I was interested because you were focusing your research on the area of emerging disruptive technology, so you were clearly ahead of your time, specifically in new threat vectors. I see that you're one of only three female military candidates in a program of about 267 candidates. So, first of all, congratulations, because that was an accomplishment in and of itself at the time.
  Thank you.
  But what were some of the key insights from your research at the time.
  It was really fun

• But if they failed that's also great, because then you could go back and talk to the customer, that happened to be a Seal Team, or a Special Forces Team, or AFSOC Special Tactics team, you could go in and say, "Hey, this technology didn't work, and it won't ever work because it's just not a good fit", or, "It will work, but we need to wait 12 to 18 months for it to mature, because this is what's coming", or, "It will work if we pair it up with these existing technologies now, and we can get it to you in the next 7 days", or it already works

• And so, I was intrigued.
  That's when for the first time I met Secretary Honor Geurts, Jim Geurts, he was the acquisition executive at the time, and when I got down there I did my presentation, I talked about all the technologies, and afterward, he said, "You know, you should think about coming down here", and I said I'm interested in it

• And so, I went into the Department of Energy and they had a program looking at the impact of additive manufacturing.
  It was really fun because nobody else was excited about it, and of course, I'm geeking out, "Oh, I love 3D printing, this is so cool". We began to explore how this technology was moving very-very quickly, exponentially if you will, so what turned out.

• So, what are some of the key areas in which you focus on at AFWERX.
  It is a dream job, and I've got to tell you I'm so proud of our team, and I'm so humbled and proud to be part of the AFWERX team because once again I found myself in another military family
