Hiring Our Heroes
Senior Director for Events and Programs
I synchronize multiple types of events, summits and expos across the country and in Europe.
I'm coordinating events, talking to companies about the value propositions of hiring veterans, and talking to service members and their families about the skill sets and tools they'll need for the job search. Every day differs, but everything revolves around the goal of getting opportunities for service members so that they can continue to serve even outside of their uniforms.
Here's the first step for professionals
The most important thing you can do is identify what you want to do. One thing that most military members have in common is that we have a commitment to service embedded into our personalities, whether that's serving a company, or serving our nation, or serving our fellow Americans. So find opportunities to give back, whether it's in your job or in volunteer opportunities outside of work, and you'll start getting down to the heart of what you want to do with your life.
