rF LiveBroadcast with Regina Rembert of BuyVet

Regina has built up decades of experience in human resources, working in HR for companies such as JCPenney and Luxottica. In these roles, she spent lots of time speaking with college students at career fairs, where she realized how she could further help young adults prepare for a career. In 2008, shortly before retiring from the Army and still while working full-time, she started her own HR consulting firm called BrightStar Consulting. Regina poured her years-worth of human resources experience into her new business, where she still serves as the executive director today.

For the past five years, Regina has also worked with the federal government as an HR Specialist for the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Here, she spends time providing recruiting and replacement services, hiring mostly healthcare professionals. 

Also serving as inspiration for BuyVet was the HGTV series Fixer Upper, which Regina really enjoyed watching especially during the pandemic. Seeing the impact that the show has had on workers and the economies of small towns sparked a vision for a similar framework, specifically for the veteran community.
