Maj. Esther Cleggs-Burns' family
Maj. Esther Cleggs-Burns talks about how she began her career with an education in Plant Science with concentration in Biotechnology from Fort Valley State University. In my military career, I have had the opportunity to deploy with the Army Reserve to both Afghanistan and Qatar. Most recently, I commanded 85 Army Reserve Soldiers, as part of Urban Augmentation Medical Task Force 005-1’s, deployment to Elmhurst Hospital in New York City in support of COVID 19 relief. Yes, my family is sometimes nervous, fearful, and disheartened, but they are always proud. I have an extremely supportive husband and family that will be there for him as needed with our two girls. They serve when I serve. Along with family, prayer and meditation is how I deal with stress in my life.
