Hi, I’m Lydia Pert — HR pro, doctor (but not the kind that can save lives), researcher, author, and perpetual mover thanks to my husband Dave’s military career. Over the past decade+ we’ve called Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Louisiana, New Mexico, Ohio, and New York home, and with each move I’ve collected new stories and lessons that shape who I am. These days, we’re settled on campus at West Point (USMA) in the Hudson Valley, just a short train ride from New York City. I am an unashamed Disney adult, crazy cat lady, and traveler. My husband and I share a goal of stepping foot on all 7 continents…so far we have only checked off 3, but we are working on it!
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
