From Camo to Fleece: How to Become a Founder After Your Military Service

Stephanie Taiwo

Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a 25-year-old Behavior Analyst and Army National Guard Veteran from New Jersey. I am the owner and founder of Overcomers ABA Services, an organization that provides behavioral therapy services to children with developmental disabilities on the autism spectrum. When I’m not working on behavior plans, you’ll probably catch me at the gym. I love the simple things in life such as traveling, trying new, delicious foods, and resting! Life after the military taught me the essence of embracing transitions. There’s something powerful in allowing the next season to take full effect, no matter how uncertain and difficult it can be. If there’s anything I want to accomplish, it’s to encourage others to take that first step! I am a testimony of that. As a servant of Christ, my duty to others didn’t just end with my military service. In fact, I like to believe I’m just getting started.
