Taking command of HMS Portland is definitely the highlight of my 16 years in the Navy. It is a challenge that I am fully trained for and ready to undertake. ↗

I am very proud to be taking command of a Type 23 frigate, which is an extremely flexible warship, and I'm looking forward to taking HMS Portland on operations with a professional and focused team. ↗

I just wanted to move out of Portland to do something. ↗

But I was also doing odd jobs around Portland, like spreading gravel and transplanting bamboo trees. ↗

I'm very excited to be chosen by Portland. It's definitely a dream come true to be playing in the WNBA. ↗

But I went to high school in a Portland suburb and went to college here. ↗

I don't think I would live outside of the Northwest. I think the quality of life in Portland is really good. People move from intense, high-powered jobs, and move to Portland, work half as much and live twice as good. ↗

I trained with the FBI in Portland and I also had many conversations with female FBI agents in Los Angeles, as well. That was again something that also came in very handy for Basic, because I'd learned already how to handle a gun and how to behave just physically when you're in a situation, a threat. That was very good to know. ↗
