Interview with Navy Rear Admiral Carpenter!
21 Apr 2009 07:10am
Last Friday, I had the privilege of interviewing Navy Rear Admiral Wendi Carpenter for the “Following Dreams” page.  I have to admit I was the most nervous I have ever been before an interview! She is the first woman naval aviator to be named an admiral. WOW! Think about it, I’m thirteen years old and I was going to sit down with a Navy Commander!

However, when I asked her about her mentors, I discovered that she too has a heart for mentoring and was a great encourager. It was a fun interview and I’m sure you’ll love her as much as I did!
