Kristina Rodriguez is the Regional Operations Manager for The Brokerage for Virginia and North Carolina, and the co-manager of the employee resource group for Colliers North American diversity equity and inclusion program.

She comes from a big military family, with her older brother (Marines), uncle (Vietnam war), and great aunt (Army) all entering the service. Since she wasn’t able to serve on the front lines, she became a Military Police officer in the U.S. Army for three years. After leaving the Army, she ended up in a role as a part time leasing agent for multifamily and real estate.

In this conversation, Kristina shares her story with host Scott Luton:

• Why she thinks it was right to remove the service restrictions on women able to meet the front-line standards for their branch of the military

• Her three pieces of advice for anyone transitioning out of the military into a civilian professional role

• The communications differences between the military and civilian careers that Veterans need to be aware of
