Mindfully Tactical Foundation
About Us
The Mindfully Tactical Foundation was established in 2023 during my doctoral studies, The Mindfully Tactical Foundation was created to bridge the gaps in veteran transition—gaps that were not only evident in my own journey but also in the research. Every academic pursuit has been dedicated to developing real-world programs and initiatives that ensure high levels of success for veterans navigating life beyond service.
Transitioning from military to civilian life—especially for combat veterans and those managing service-related conditions—can be challenging. VA-funded research often differs from privately funded studies, highlighting high dropout rates and missing crucial veteran feedback. By integrating academic research with lived experience, we’ve designed practical, research-backed solutions that focus on resilience, career success, and overall well-being.
