About Sarah Williams

Life is a wonderful adventure! I’m excited to start the next chapter after a wonderful military career. I love to learn and share ideas with others. My learning has been shaped by family, academia, co-workers, and friends. I look forward to continuing to grow with strategic networking and powerful connections. In 1992, I was on my way to an interview as part of a service academy application. It was my first time driving in a city with more than one traffic light. I ran a stop sign and was broadsided – 100% my fault. The police officer that responded asked why I was in a hurry. I explained I was on my way to an interview for a service academy. The police officer dropped his clipboard and said “go.”That police officer was just one of many who have supported, pushed, and guided me. These people had memorable qualities – encouraging, empathetic, and energetic. These people put themselves in my shoes and propelled me. They are why I want to continue to “pay it forward.”Disclaimers: Thoughts expressed here are my own. “The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.”
