She is grateful to have been part of the USAA team for 23 years and most recently served as a lead program manager for the Chief Design Office.

Outside of work Summer is passionate about volunteering and engaging in community outreach events with an emphasis on military kids, STEM initiatives, and youth empowerment programs. Her favorite annual event is the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) national good grief camp which provides a safe space for military children to explore grief and embrace healing. She currently serves as a board member and on the Community Advisory Council (CAC) for I Live Here I Give Here.
