Connie | Hurlburt
A lifelong problem solver and passionate idealist, Connie learned early on as a caregiver to her Army veteran husband that she’d have to create her own circumstances rather than operating within a system seemingly set up to work against them.
With a background in teaching, having earned a BA in Elementary Education from Wake Forest University in 2007, Connie discovered quickly that education would not be the avenue with which she’d be able to leave a positive legacy while also supporting her husband through a newly diagnosed TBI & PTSD. So she set out to create new circumstances by leveraging the skills she’d built as a teacher, a mom and as a caregiver that would allow for the flexibility she needs in all those roles as well as the impact she desired to create in her community, landing as a health & wellness coach for other moms. As a small business owner Connie developed skills in marketing, ultimately opening an additional business supporting small businesses online by providing creative solutions to their idiosyncratic needs. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2022 Connie is more dedicated than ever to supporting military and veteran families in their unique challenges.
Having been a caregiver since 2007 and owning a digital media marketing business, Connie has a deep understanding of Warrior Community Connect’s mission & values as well as the way people find, view and move through websites and social media, making her an ideal candidate to assist with WCC’s online assets.
