Cheyenne Nicole Pew
Cheyenne Pew is a military spouse and mission-driven professional with experience in customer service, virtual assistance, and military outreach. She is known for her adaptability, resilience, and deep commitment to supporting others through meaningful, people-centered work. Currently serving as an Ambassador with Forward March Inc., Cheyenne helps connect veterans, transitioning service members, military spouses, and employers with accessible career opportunities and support systems designed to strengthen the military community.
Cheyenne’s passion for caregiving began in childhood, when she took on significant responsibility caring for her grandmother, who had OCPD. From a young age, she managed household responsibilities while ensuring her grandmother’s daily needs were met, an experience that shaped her lifelong belief that every person deserves dignity, care, and companionship. This foundation led her to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, a role she held for approximately 6 to 7 years in nursing homes and personal care settings. During that time, she formed deep bonds with patients, often spending holidays with those who had no visitors, bringing them comfort, joy, and companionship. One particularly meaningful relationship involved a patient she supported daily, spending time cooking, playing games, and providing emotional care, an experience that reinforced her commitment to helping others live fully and with dignity.
After marrying her husband, a Black Hawk pilot in the U.S. Army, Cheyenne transitioned into military life and relocated following his flight school. As a proud military spouse with strong family ties to military service, both of her grandfathers served in the Army and Navy during the Korean War, her work with Forward March Inc., which she joined on January 28 of this year, became deeply personal. Through this role, she supports initiatives that help military spouses, veterans, and transitioning service members find meaningful employment, including remote virtual assistant pathways for those facing barriers such as childcare or mobility limitations. Passionate about equity and access, Cheyenne is dedicated to ensuring military families are aware of the resources available to them, often taking time to personally connect, encourage, and guide individuals toward opportunities that can improve their lives.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received came from my father, who was one of my biggest supporters in my life through everything I've done. He told me, if you're trying to do something that doesn't make you happy, don't stick with it, because in the end, you're just gonna be miserable, and you're gonna hate yourself and hate your life. He said to find something that makes you happy, that makes you a better person, that makes you want to get up in the morning and be something that you could be - something you could push past everything, proceed, and strive for it. You just don't want to be at a job that doesn't make you happy, where you hate yourself, hate your life, and hate your job.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
If I'm talking to another woman about a job, I would sit down over coffee and ask them what their goals are in life, what they want to get out of it, and what they see themselves doing. I'd ask what makes them happy. Like, if you want to go into being a CNA, you're gonna have to study a lot and do a lot of things, but if you have the passion and the heart for it, go for it. There is nothing that could ever hold you back from achieving and receiving your dreams. It's about finding what makes you happy and having the passion to pursue it.
