Dr. Atalanta is a leading scholar, trusted collaborator, and strategic communicator in the Special Operations field, working behind the scenes on countless projects with high profile individuals from the SEAL, Special Forces (Green Beret), Ranger, and intelligence communities in both the public and nonprofit space. Her work has appeared in multiple publications, and has previously earned the distinction of “Article of the Year” at The Havok Journal.
Dr. Atalanta is CEO of SOFXLE, a training consultancy providing the Law Enforcement community with support from the Special Operations world (www.SOFxLE.com). The SOFxLE program was born of another Havok Journal essay, “LTC Dave Grossman on Building Cops Who Cannot Fail Us: How SEAL Team 6, Professional MMA Fighters, a Clinical Psychiatrist, and the Best-Known Law Enforcement Trainer on the Planet Hold the Key to Solving Our Police Problem for Good,” published in the wake of the George Floyd controversy.
Dr. Atalanta’s open, frank, and engaging teaching has received accolades at multiple institutions including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the University of Virginia, and the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned her doctorate and was ranked by students in the top 1% of educators across the university. Her most recent book is “Meditations of an Army Ranger: A Warrior Philosophy for Everyone,” co-authored with LTC JC Glick.
