Staff Sgt. Taylor Auen started her journey with the Pennsylvania Air National Guard in 2019 when she enlisted with the 171st Air Refueling Wing right after high school. She spent over 5 years with the Security Forces Squadron, gaining real-world experience in law enforcement, security, and emergency response. Now, as a recruiter, she’s focused on helping others find their own path in the Air National Guard.
Sgt. Auen used the education benefits she earned through her service in the Guard to pay for her college degree. She graduated from Penn State University with a bachelor’s degree in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management, along with a certificate in Earth Sustainability- completely debt-free thanks to the Guard.
If you’re a high school student thinking about college, trade school, or just looking for a solid career path, Sgt. Auen is here to give you honest advice and guide you through all the opportunities the Air National Guard can offer. She understands that everyone’s goals are different, and she’s committed to helping you figure out what works best for you.
