In the South Bend community, Maggie works with the Robinson Community Learning Center, the Center for the Homeless, and the South Bend Juvenile Correctional Facility.
Maggie plans on remaining committed to humanitarian work through out her Air Force career and then hopes to retire and continue to work with medical aide groups across the globe such as the World Health Organization or Doctors Without Borders
