Haley has appeared on NBCâ€™s Dateline to discuss her work, on various military podcasts such as Zero Blog Thirty and What a Hell of a Way to Die, and in 2020 spoke about military sexual trauma and itâ€™s impact on veterans at a webinar conference with the New York State Health Foundation.</p> </div> </div> <div class="author-page-education mb-8 recurrent-author-page-content"> <h3 class="author-page-heading font-primary font-bold text-xl text-secondary-900 leading-xl mb-5"> Education </h3> <div class="author-page-section-content font-primary text-secondary-900 text-lg leading-xl mb-5"><p>Haley is a graduate of Texas Tech University with a degree in journalism.
