Coleman retired from her nine-year employment with the CNMI government on June 4 and moved to her office on the second floor of the Veterans Affairs clinic at the MH2 Building in Puerto Rico.
“I’m still getting settled in my new job, but I love it already. I will basically be in the same line of work, serving our veterans but will have better and faster access because I will be working with the federal government,” Coleman told the Variety yesterday.
She said she has no regrets retiring as executive director of the CNMI Military and Veterans Affairs Office.
“As I’ve said before, this is a win-win situation for everybody. I will have more access to tap more benefits for our veterans than when I was working for the government here,” Coleman said.
She said she has no idea yet as to who will replace her as executive director.
“I hope that whoever will take over as the executive director will have the same dedication and commitment to serve our veterans,” Coleman said.
The CNMI is home to 1,481 veterans, with 101 residing on Tinian and 98 on Rota.
Coleman is expected to leave for training in the next few days for her post as administrative specialist.
