Brittany Durst
RN
Brittany is a Texas native and has lived all over from Japan to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Virginia. Her husband is an active duty Marine of 19 years stationed at Quantico. They have 2 adventerous boys, ages 5 and 8. She fosters and trains service dogs as a volunteer through an organization called Leases of Valor, which pairs service dogs with disabled Veterans with PTSD, TBI, and MST. Her first degree was in music and she still plays the violin/fiddle at her church and in a local country/southern rock band on weekends. She went back to school for nursing when her husband was on deployment. She has worked in various nursing fields including pediatrics, mother/baby, and labor and delivery. Her favorite job was overseas at the Naval Hospital in Okinawa and she loves the military community. You can find her hanging out with her kids and husband in her spare time, running, watching football, and enjoying the outdoors.
My Why:
Once I learned about Warriors Heart and interviewed, I knew this was going to be the place for me before I even left the beautiful facility. It truly feels like “home” and is such an honor to be able to welcome these Warrior’s home. I am humbled to be a part of their journey as they learn how to be their best selves again. Having a husband who is a Marine, a grandfather that served in the Army, a father-in-law that served in the Navy, and a brother-in-law that is a Dallas Firefighter, I love the sense of community and protection that embodies Warrior’s Heart.
