Alayne Rosenstein

Hospital Corpsman Second Class joined the Navy in 2014 because she saw an opportunity to contribute to a team with a strong sense of purpose. She was driven to serve her country, develop in her leadership, resilience, and discipline. The Navy also gave her an opportunity to travel and grow her educational and professional opportunities. Six years later, she was on the frontlines of the Navy’s healthcare efforts to provide patient care and support infection control efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Serving in this capacity required resilience, adaptability, and compassion—qualities I am proud to have demonstrated in support of my fellow sailors, and broader community, during a global crisis.” While stationed in Alaska, Rosenstein’s Navy Wounded Warrior care team suggested that she give adaptive sports a try. She attended her first camp in November 2024 and came to call adaptive swimming her favorite activity. “I am so glad I participated. The opportunity to connect with fellow injured veterans has been an amazing experience.” Away from sports, Rosenstein enjoys spending time in the wilderness hiking and camping, as she believes in the healing power of nature.
