Erin Beaty was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, which means she can't drive a tractor, but she won't eat veggies that come from a can.
She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2000 with a BS in Aerospace Engineering (Astronautics) and German. After serving as a weapons officer on a combat destroyer, she did a tour at the Center for Naval Leadership as a junior officer leadership instructor.
Erin and her husband have five kids, two cats, and a vegetable garden and live wherever the Navy tells them to go.
