Elana Duffy
After graduating from Cornell University with a BS and MEng in Operations Research Engineering, Elana “Lana” Duffy worked for a year in civil engineering before enlisting in the Army as an Intelligence Collector, Interrogator, and Counterintelligence Investigator. During her 10 years of active service, she was assigned around the world including deployments to both Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. After a roadside bomb and several surgeries, she was ultimately awarded a Purple Heart and medically retired in 2012. She then returned to NYC to build www.pathfinder.vet, a platform using artificial intelligence to assist fellow Veterans and Families reintegrating after service through giving them the ability to share their experiences with local support resources. Elana is an alumna of The Moth’s Community Program after participating in a workshop through NYC Veterans Alliance. Most of her hobbies include her cats, mountain climbing, and racking up crazy stories to share.
