Welcome to the "Spark The Conversation" Podcast where we get to know individuals around Pulte Financial Services, what makes them unique and the collection of experiences they bring to our organization.  We are also recognizing Memorial Day in this month's episode, honoring our military veteran's by interviewing someone on our team that has served in the military herself.

 

We're talking with Tina Buonocore, who is the Product Owner for the ISD eClose/eDocs team.  You may know Tina is a US Marine and Army veteran who served from 1999-2010.  But did you know she…?

• was a mechanic in the military working on soldier transport vehicles like Humvees
• deployed to Kuwait and drove Highway 1 to Bagdad
• went back to Bagdad three more times as an Army soldier
• getting to know the civilians from Iraq was one of her favorite memories
• Tina plans a reunion with some of her closest military friends next year
• 22 veterans commit suicide every day
• Tina worked in the ER at Parker Hospital
• her favorite book is "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien

 

I hope you enjoyed getting to know Tina's story as much as I have.  Thanks for joining us again for this month's episode of "Spark The Conversation". 

 

Please reach out to me or Nicole Sandoval if you'd be willing to tell your story.  Until next time, please be sure to spark your own conversations!
