For Marine Corps veteran Larysa Murray, service didn’t end when she left the military. “I served in the United States Marine Corps for 5 years.” Murray left the Marines with the rank of sergeant, but the leadership skills she developed during that time continue to shape her work today. “Challenges in the Marine Corps as a woman, I guess, would be that we're just simply outnumbered.” At the time she served, women made up only a small percentage of the force. Murray says navigating that environment taught her how to connect with people from different backgrounds and experiences. “You really develop a skill set to be able to connect with people one-on-one to become an effective leader.” #marines #marinelife
