Commander Tracie Smith-Yeoman, USN (ret) will visit with children from kindergarten through high school Thursday afternoon at 3:30 at the library in Borough Hall in Atlantic Highlands Thursday, May 11.
Commander Smith-Yeoman, a native of Highlands and a graduate of the University of South Carolina, will chat with the youngsters, giving them an idea what it’s like to be in the Navy, what prompted her to join, and how growing up in the Bayshore influenced her decision. She’ll also speak on what her mission was in the Navy before her retirement, an unusual field for women in the Navy.
Commander Smith-Yeoman currently serves as the Senior Naval Science Instruction at MAST, the Marine Academy of Science and Technology on Sandy Hook.
The Navy veteran and Mater Dei High school graduate will also display pictures of “ships, submarines, jets and dolphins” during the afternoon presentation.
