From Prevention to Proposals: A Journey into the Defense World

In this candid video, Patriot Data Graphics Co-Owner, Monika Hauck Latchaw, shares her personal experience transitioning from a background in suicide prevention and systems change into the fast-paced, high-pressure world of proposal development and defense contracting.

It wasn’t a traditional path but it’s one that brings deep value. Her background in data, communication, and organizational strategy has uniquely equipped her to support Patriot Data Graphics with clarity, empathy, and impact.

She talks about learning a new language, earning credibility, and the moments that made it all worth it, from transforming our methodology into teachable processes to strategiing for the future.
