Menz's structured books, workbooks, and coaching programs are designed from lived experience, practical recovery education, and a successful personal transformation after multiple Traumatic Brain Injuries. Her work reflects a professional effort to turn personal pain into an organized movement that advances education, collaboration, and practical support for the TBI community.

Menz's goal is to bring Traumatic Brain Injury support groups, organizations, professionals, caregivers, veterans, and survivors together to strengthen collaboration and move the TBI movement forward through education, shared resources, and community-based support.

Menz has an extensive military background. She began her military career in the Army National Guard in January 1985 and later served more than 20 years on active federal duty as an Active Duty Army Title 10 Liaison with the United States Army.
