In this powerful episode of VET S.O.S., we are joined by Dr. Destinee
Prete, a military veteran, industrial-organizational psychologist, and
the founder of We2AreVets, a nonprofit on a mission to honor, empower,
and recognize women veterans.
Dr. Prete takes us on a journey
through her incredible transition from military service to civilian
life, earning her PhD, and creating a supportive community for women
veterans. She shares insights into the unique challenges women veterans
face, including workplace sexism, lack of inclusivity, and
self-identification barriers. Dr. Prete discusses how We2AreVets fosters
empowerment, collaboration, and recognition for women in the veteran
community.
As a certified veteran developmental coach, Dr. Prete
has coached thousands of service members, veterans, spouses, and

sessions to professional identity workshops and group coaching. She also
shares innovative strategies, such as leveraging federal work-study
programs to build her nonprofit team while providing meaningful
opportunities to students.
