Isa Marie McIntyre

During her first deployment, she conducted convoys in Ramadi, Fallujah, and Baghdad, receiving a combat action badge after coming under direct enemy fire.

Isa Marie was so overwhelmed by the support and generosity her family received from nonprofit organizations, that she was honored to join the staff of Farmer Veteran Coalition, a national nonprofit dedicated to serving veterans in agriculture. Isa Marie’s role as Project Coordinator allows her to use customized project management techniques to ensure the execution of grant deliverables, improve work efficiency and increase organizational effectiveness.
