“Growing up in a military family where both my father and brother served our country, I understand the unique insights and skills military service members and veterans bring to the workplace. It’s one of the reasons we strive to create a flexible, inclusive workplace where all employees can feel they belong. We want active military and veterans to see Liberty as a place where they can stay and grow their careers because their unique backgrounds and capabilities are valued”
