Her military career included deployments with the 101st Airborne Division and 5th Special Forces Group, earning a Bronze Star for her service. Margaret teaches courses on federal prosecution and the Russo-Ukrainian War at Yale Law School and is a coordinating attorney with Yale’s Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic.
