Guest Bio - As a photographer, BENSKO’s Photo Introspective, Honoring the Wounds of War, was featured at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & museum, and was the subject of an Emmy Award winning News segment. But it was her position of 7 years as Vice-President of Rebuilding America's Warriors, providing free reconstructive surgery to troops returning from war, a subsequent accident, and discovering the science of stem cells, which led to Bensko establishing Veterans In Pain, VIP - the first and only national nonprofit organization to facilitate Regenerative medical solutions for Veterans suffering from chronic pain. Since 2018, VIP has facilitated over 450 Veterans, and developed a network of volunteer VIP Physicians, nationwide.
