MAJ Justine Stremick grew up in the small town of Langdon North Dakota. She went to play volleyball for the University of Notre Dame while earning her Bachelors of Science in Mathematics with a concentration in life sciences, graduating cum laude in 2009.
She took a year off to travel and volunteer aboard before attending Tulane University School of Medicine where she earned her Medical Doctorate as well as a Masters in Public Health and Tropical Medicine. She was selected to join the Madigan Army Emergency Medicine Residency where she served as chief resident, completing the program in 2017.
After graduation, she was assigned to Fort Belvoir Army Community Hospital during which time was selected to play on the All-Army and All-Armed Forced Volleyball teams, competing internationally in 2018 and 2019. For her efforts she was awarded the 2018 Female Soldier-Athlete of the year. She also completed a combat deployment to Afghanistan which earned her a bronze star.
