(MH) My name is Maxine Harvey-Burgess. I am a captain and a bioscience officer. We’re a support trade. I help minimize any health threats to CAF members. Right now, I am with the Navy.

(MH) I’ve learned that I can show up as I am and still do well and be able to contribute and find that community. I think it's another opportunity to kind of spend time with people that are different from myself, and I think that’s ultimately what will help me in my job.
