Brig. Gen. Lisa Doumont ’95, a senior ranking officer in the U.S. Armed Forces, learned her “can-do” attitude from her mother, who returned to nursing school at age 52. Doumont, who earned an associate degree in nursing at Shenandoah, has returned to the university for doctoral studies in organizational leadership. It’s not like she’s awash in extra time, though. She’s the assistant surgeon general for mobilization readiness and reserve affairs with the Office of the Surgeon General in Falls Church, Virginia, and she is dual-hatted as the deputy commanding general with the Army Reserve Medical Command in Tampa, Florida. In her civilian life, Doumont most recently worked for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in Winchester, Virginia. How does she do it all?
