U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) recently welcomed two
new military fellows to her team in Washington D.C.: U.S. Coast Guard Fellow,
Abbie Lyons, and HillVets Fellow, Lou Feaman.
“I’m excited to welcome these two
new fellows to my team. The military plays an incredible role in our state and
I have no doubt that Abbie and Lou will go above and beyond in their efforts to
support each of our military branches,” said Senator Murkowski. “Their
experience and service help them truly understand the military lifestyle and
the support our servicemembers, families, and veterans need.”
Abbie Lyons is an active duty Lieutenant Commander in the
United States Coast Guard. Abbie graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 2010
and holds a Master’s Degree from Boise State University in Organizational
Performance and Workplace Learning. Prior to serving on Senator Murkowski’s
staff, she was the Waterways and Incident Management Chief at Marine Safety Unit
Duluth, Minnesota. Abbie’s Alaskan experience includes serving as the
supervisor of Marine Safety Detachment Dutch Harbor, Alaska and as the District
Seventeen Flag Aide in Juneau, Alaska, where she also worked in International
Fisheries Enforcement. She has also served at Marine Safety Unit Portland,
Oregon and onboard the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba out of Boston,
Massachusetts.
Lou Feaman has joined Senator Murkowski’s office through the
HillVets organization, which brings together veterans in the National Capital
Region and provides a fellowship for veterans interested in engaging in
governance, international affairs, and policy. Lou received a Bachelor of
Science from the United States Naval Academy and a Master of Arts in
International Commerce and Policy from George Mason University. He served
as an active duty Marine Corps officer from 2008-2016 including deployments to
Afghanistan and the Arabian Peninsula. He has worked with partner nations
in the IndoPacific region and he continues to serve in the Marine Corps
Reserve. Prior to accepting the fellowship, Lou worked in the private
sector as the operations supervisor for Siemens Smart Infrastructure in the
Washington, DC market where he focused on the electronic security business.
