A remarkable all-female leadership triad recently relinquished the cockpit of the 58th Maintenance Squadron at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. This trio not only brought a refreshing transparency to their roles, but also prioritized fostering a sense of family within the unit.

For the brief two months they worked together, Maj. Alyssa Heimerman, 58 MXS commander, Senior Master Sgt. Danielle Downs, previous 58 MXS senior enlisted leader, and Master Sgt. Christie Cooper, 58 MXS first sergeant, served as the 58 MXS leadership team from October- November 2023.

“I’m proud to be part of the first female leadership triad I’ve had in my career,” expressed Downs. “As a team, we worked together for the betterment of the unit and that feels amazing. These are awesome professional Air Force women that I’ve gotten to work closely with.”

One of the key pillars of their leadership approach was reinvigorating the family aspect within the 58 MXS. Recognizing the importance of an inclusive and supportive work environment, they implemented various initiatives aimed at strengthening the bonds among Airmen.
