over 32 years of experience, and Robby Hedrick, a dual-service veteran
of the Air Force and Army, join us to share their journeys and the
pivotal role the Coffee Bunker plays in empowering the military
community.
Donna shares heartfelt stories about her upbringing as an Army dependent
and her father’s challenging transition from military to civilian life,
which inspired her to dedicate her post-Retirement career to helping
veterans succeed. Robby opens up about his own transitions between
branches of service and the obstacles he faced adjusting to civilian
life, emphasizing the importance of mentorship, tailored support, and
community.
We delve into how the Coffee Bunker goes beyond providing a safe space
for veterans to connect. From resume workshops and job preparation to
personalized career counseling and Education planning, this organization
