WKU senior Maddie Alexander is no stranger to hard work and worthwhile goals. The Psychology and Criminology double major is in the process of establishing not one, but two careers.
The aspiring law enforcement and Kentucky Army National Guard officer helps lead WKU ROTC and also actively participates in the National Guard, where she is entering her fourth year of service. While it may seem like Alexander has a full plate, she is only getting started.
“I want to start locally while getting my graduate degree, then I will pursue working for a higher agency [such as the] FBI, CIA,” said Alexander when speaking on her plans after graduation. “While having a career in law enforcement, I will also have a career in the Kentucky Army National Guard. I plan on retiring from both careers.”
Her role as WKU’s Cadet Battalion Training Officer in ROTC will also provide real-world training for her career goals. As an S-3 she prepares operations orders, training schedules, and memoranda to facilitate battalion training and operations. “I ensure that all training is rehearsed prior to execution, so that the training or mission is carried out successfully,” Alexander said.
