It's been a long time and what can I say, that's the life of an OC and I LOVE IT!!
I first started working for Wounded Warrior Project in April 2014. I knew of WWP from my time in Germany while on active duty.
But I really got to know what the organization stood for even more when I had the opportunity to take advantage of it myself as a warrior and when I had the honor of connecting other warriors to their resources.
After getting out of the Army I continued to serve as a Military Spouse and as a Federal Employee working as a (FRSA) Family Readiness Support Assistant for over 4 years. As and FRSA my job was to provide resources to families of deployed soldiers and to look providesupport during and after deployments.
This particular job gave me a lot of experience in working with military families the challenges they face and what they go thru before, during and after deployment. Working for WWP was only natural and the next best career move for me.
I love working for the Military community and for our Veterans. As a combat veteran myself and a spouse of a combat veteran with multiple deployments I connect with our Alumni and Family on a more personal level and it makes things more natural and easy for me. So I guess you can say this is really not a "JOB" to me.
Getting hired with WWP was not easy as they go thru an extensive interview and selection process because they want to make sure they have the right person for the job. But the wait is well worth it!
WWP is an amazing organization to work for and they have an extensive list of job opportunities.
