Ten minutes with Renea
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a lifelong desire to learn, grow, and serve others. My 21 and a half years in the military taught me the value of leadership, resilience, and purpose, while my transition into wellness, coaching, and nonprofit leadership has allowed me to use those lessons to empower other women and veterans. Above all, I’m most proud of being a mother and leading by example for my children, while continuing to grow personally and professionally through my doctoral studies in psychology and health.
