Rebecca Solen doesn’t like writing her bio, but she’s writing it anyway. She was raised an active member of the church. She served a mission in Munich, Germany and found she only liked one regional variation of sauerkraut and that the German language is fun because the words are so long. Afterward, she knew she needed to do stuff, so she enrolled in college and discovered that she loved learning, but hated choosing a major. All was not lost, however, having also discovered her superpower is baking chocolate chip cookies. Rebecca is an Army veteran, having served 2004-2012 achieving the rank of Captain. She can still demonstrate a perfect push-up, but never grew fond of MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat). In 2016, she ran for Congress. That was fun. Having run out of excuses to hide her true self, she came out as transgender. She has a bachelor’s degree in information systems, a master’s degree in international relations, and a large collection of LEGO because — why not? Rebecca and her wife Melissa have been married for over 21 years and have four children. Rebecca currently serves as the Vice President of Affirmation, and occasionally serves pancakes for breakfast when all the kids are home on a Saturday morning.
