until 2018. The Heritage Foundation dates are more vague but the guess is 2015-2022. Working for Nikki Haley wasnt u til 2023. No dates for when she worked for Stand for America, an advocacy group founded by Haley that "promotes freedom at home and strength abroad."
Her longest stint, according to her LinkedIn, was at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that later authored Project 2025, a conservative playbook for the Trump administration. She served as a social media manager at the think tank for over six years, from September 2015 to April 2022. She didn’t start her conservative podcast with the likes of (I’d say right wing crazies but let’s stick with conservatives) Bethany Mandel, Emily Zanotti, Mary Katharine Ham, Kelly Maher, and Elisha Krauss until 2021. And she is currently a fellow at Independent Women which was founded by activist Rosalie Silberman to promote a "conservative alternative to feminist tenets" following the controversial Supreme Court nomination of Clarence Thomas in 1992

So yes he probably should have said mainly instead of lifelong. After all she might have been a camp counselor and a candy striper. Good catch!
