Short company description:
The National Association of Veterans and Families (NAVF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping this nation’s oldest living veterans and their surviving spouses understand and access the VA Aid & Attendance benefit, which can help pay for home care, assisted living, or memory care. Through education, outreach, and personalized guidance, NAVF is committed to ensuring those who served our country receive the benefits they have earned.
What lessons from sports have you applied to your personal life and career?
Sports in the equestrian world taught me the value of teamwork, and resilience. I’ve carried those lessons into my career by building strong relationships, staying focused on the goal, and understanding that success comes from consistency, perseverance, and working together to make a difference.
What strategies do you use to improve your performance?
I’m always learning, building relationships, and looking for ways to improve. I listen to the needs of the veterans and families we serve, and I look for ways to be more effective so we can make a bigger impact.
Can You Discuss a Time When You Had to Work with a Team to Achieve a Goal?
At NAVF, teamwork is at the heart of what we do. By working together with our team and community partners, we’re able to connect more veterans and families with the support and benefits they’ve earned.
