The Bronx Chronicle Featured Veteran: Jared Sterk
In my regular column I have sought out veterans to share their stories and recognize the services they provide. This week’s featured Veteran is Corporal Jared Sterk of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Jared was born and raised in Old Tappan, New Jersey. He currently works at New York University Langone Medical Center (NYU LMC) as the Senior Program Coordinator in the Veteran’s Outreach Program. Jared enthusiastically shares his trials on finding a career and what he has learned from this in the hope that it will help other veterans. He is also sharing how his company offers free mental health services to veterans and conducts research studies on veterans dealing with the effects of military service.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jared through the years. Initially, we worked together when we were both stationed in Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, California. Fast forward a few years later, and now both as ‘civilians,’ we’ve crossed paths yet again. Jared has been a true patriot, and has dedicated his time and efforts to help veterans transition from active duty to corporate america.
