She has served as a Drill Sergeant and now serves as an instructor at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) for the ROTC program, where she helps shape the future leaders of the U.S. Army. Her greatest strengths include developing confident leaders, translating complex challenges into clear, actionable direction, and helping individuals align who they are with how they lead.

Ruth works with Potluck Culture because its mission aligns deeply with her values and sense of purpose.

Supporting that kind of transformation is at the heart of why she does this work.
