The Renton, Wash., native was one of 37 Airmen selected for the special unit based on her ability to entertain. The TIB team is also the “road crew” for each show. Managed by seven technical personnel, they are responsible for the transporting and setting up more than 65,000 pounds of stage equipment. TIB’s mission is to provide entertainment to military personnel and their families at home and abroad. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ilka Cole)
