Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Kristin Beck
US Navy veteran and former member of SEAL Team 6
Hailing from a small Pennsylvania farm, Kristin attended the Virginia Military Institute from 1984-87. In 1990, Beck enlisted in the Navy and became a SEAL desiring to be one of the “toughest of the tough.”
She certainly earned that distinction. During her 20-year Navy career, Kristin would receive the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Valor, along with nearly 50 other medals. Beck deployed 13 times, 7 of those were combat deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, and Africa.
Kristin retired from the Navy in 2011. Today, she is still on the front lines, fighting to educate the public and to support other transgender human beings. In 2013, she co-authored the book, “Warrior Princess” with Anne Speckhard, about her own personal journey.
The documentary film, “Lady Valor: The Kristin Beck Story”, aired on CNN in 2014. She ran for a seat in congress in August in 2015 finishing second in the Democratic election primary. Kristin has appeared on the Dr. Phil show and been interviewed numerous times by various media outlets around the Country.
