Beck serves as a C-130 Hercules FTU Instructor in the 154th Training Squadron, responsible for training Airmen to become loadmasters. For her, one of the most rewarding aspects of her job as an instructor is seeing the look on an airman’s face as they take their first flight.
In addition to her military service, she also works part-time as a Cardiovascular ICU nurse at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, in Little Rock.
