Her foundation in leadership and service was forged during a decade of honorable duty in the United States Navy, where she rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. A meritorious Supply Corps Officer, Ms. Persad served as the expert logistician aboard U.S. Navy warships, performing her duties with exemplary professionalism and precision. She developed a rigorous screening process for target spending that ensured outstanding results during shipboard supply management certifications, while managing an $8 million annual budget and a $45 million inventory with zero discrepancies—savings that contributed more than $3 million back to the Navy and directly supported a successful deployment.

Her expertise in planning and attention to detail helped earn her command the prestigious Supply Excellence Award across the fleet. She expended parts for more than 500 casualty reports, trained over 800 sailors during 47 general quarters and 35 flying squad drills as a vital leader in Damage Control Operations, and served as an expert Helicopter Control Officer, training more than 35 officers and helping them achieve critical qualifications that enhanced mission readiness. Her leadership extended to personnel development, where her mentorship contributed to the successful rank promotions of over 1,700 sailors.

Ms. Persad also served with distinction aboard Navy hospital ships, leading supply operations during humanitarian missions in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Timor-Leste. In these efforts, she flawlessly distributed over 8,000 pallets of mission-critical materials that brought aid to vulnerable populations. She was instrumental in revising hazardous material programs, spearheaded postal operations that delivered more than 50,000 pounds of mail without discrepancies, and astutely managed $26.5 million in funds while meeting all mission requirements.

Her naval career is further distinguished by earning her Surface Warfare qualifications as Boat Officer, Command Duty Officer, Officer of the Deck, and Helicopter Control Officer—each performed with exemplary precision while also serving as Hazmat Officer and Supply Officer responsible for all shipboard logistics. Having served at sea for a decade across multiple Navy warships and hospital ships, Ms. Persad is recognized as an expert sailor whose seamanship, navigation skills, and operational leadership remain hallmarks of her distinguished military service.
