About Us
The Why Behind Operation Halo
Meet Our Team
Operation Halo understands that women are stronger in numbers, which is why we are building a community of like-minded individuals with diverse backgrounds. Our platform hinges on the personal experiences of our founders and panel advisors, and the entire Operation Halo team lives by our core values of Community, Adaptability, Respect, and Empowerment (CARE). Our core values heavily influence our curriculum, so girls can develop the skills needed to confidently handle safety threats. We teach them how to look out for other women, quickly transform their safety strategies, cultivate a healthy respect for danger, and use knowledge to empower themselves and others.

Our core values
Community: At Operation Halo, we know every young woman and community is different. That’s why our self-defense training is designed to adapt — ensuring each program is practical, relevant, and built to meet real-world challenges.
Adaptability: Safety is never one-size-fits-all. We teach girls how to quickly assess situations, adjust their approach, and stay alert — because confidence comes from knowing how to respond when things don’t go as planned.
Respect: Respect is the first step toward empowerment. At Operation Halo, we honor each young woman’s voice and strength, building confidence through self-defense skills that help them stand tall and stay protected.
Empowerment: Knowledge is power. Operation Halo equips girls with the tools and mindset to take control of their own safety and speak up for others. We don’t just teach defense — we teach ownership, courage, and action.
