    Q: What is your name and what do you do in the Coast Guard?

    A: LT Darrina Willis, Chief of Incident Management Division

    Q: Describe diversity in a word or two and explain what it means to you.

    A: "Representation" - Ideally, people from a range of demographics would be
    able to look upon our service and imagine themselves as a part of it.

    Q: How has your experience and background prepared you to be effective at your job?

    A: I have been extremely fortunate to work with Shipmates that supported my
    pursuit of professional development opportunities which contributed to me
    earning my first leadership position, as the Chief of Incident Management
    Division. My adolescent experiences exposed me to stressful circumstances
    early in life which prepared me with critical skills to manage stressful
    situations and be effective as a Response Ashore Officer.

    Q: Tell me a little bit about your life outside of work.

    A: All things travel and outdoor recreation. My family and I love to visit new
    places and have new experiences.
