Tillman Tuesday 👏 Emerald Ralston helps bring veterans together through long-distance and therapeutic outdoor adventures – creating space for connection, reflection, and continued service. A former Air Force public affairs specialist turned psychotherapist, Emerald has dedicated her career to supporting veterans through both clinical care and community-centered healing. As a Tillman Scholar, her work explores how nature, challenge, and connection can help veterans navigate trauma, moral injury, and reintegration after service. After hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2021, Emerald began researching the impact of long-distance backpacking on veteran healing and transition. Today, she is continuing her work as a clinician, helping veterans find purpose, community, and transformation both on and off the trail. This is what it looks like to lead with service beyond self.
