Heather Calvert joined AUSA in August 2024 as the Corporate Leadership Specialist in the Center for Leadership. With a BS in Mass Communication and a concentration in advertising from Towson University, Heather furthered her education with a Master’s in Marketing from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Upon graduation she accepted a role as a Product Marketing Specialist in Melrose, Scotland, followed by a role as a Digital Marketer in London, England. Her time living abroad remains among her most unforgettable and rewarding experiences.

Returning to the US, Heather transitioned into the events and exhibits industry. She leveraged her marketing experience to collaborate with brand managers on planning and executing galas, exhibits, events, and summits nationally and internationally, and even a presidential inauguration. Over the past decade, she has built a reputation of dedication, exceptional organizational skills and a meticulous attention to detail, while cultivating strong client relationships.

Heather’s passion for the military and family ties led her to AUSA, where she is eager to contribute to the Corporate Leadership program. She is dedicated to enhancing mid-level leadership development and expanding the organization’s leadership offerings.

Outside of work, Heather is an avid traveler, coffee enthusiast, and animal lover. She delights in exploring new countries, drinking quality coffee (she has an espresso machine at her desk), and volunteering at a horse rescue. Heather is also the loving owner of a very spoiled, yet appreciative cat named Islay. In her free time, she finds joy in crafting, reading, visiting museums, hiking, and hosting dinner parties for friends and family.
