Nejuan Patterson

Employment Transition Manager – Missouri

Nejuan Patterson serves as the OJRV Employment Transition Manager for the state of Missouri. Her mission is to help veterans, service members, and their families who are seeking civilian employment. She thrives in supporting them to overcome employment challenges and pursue career goals. Nejuan advises her clients who are transitioning into civilian employment by giving interview tips/strategies, guidance on networking, one-on-one coaching, and a helping hand with resume writing.

Nejuan served honorably in the U.S. Army as a horizontal construction engineer. She obtained an associate degree in general studies while actively serving. Although heavy machinery was her role at that time, she knew in the future she wanted to be more behind the scenes with her next long-term career opportunity.

Upon transitioning out of her active-duty role, Nejuan found it difficult to obtain purposeful permanent employment. She has held various contract, temporary, and part-time positions in administration, project management, customer service, and clerical work. She understands firsthand the difficulties veterans face when transitioning out of their military career, especially if they are interested in pursuing a role different from their military background. She yearns to assist others through their transition as military to civilian can feel like a whole new world.

Nejuan is also a proud mother to two children. She is committed to raising her children to be strong, honest, loving, selfless, and hardworking individuals who when they start something give it their all—all the way through until completion. She spends her leisure time practicing fashion/portrait modeling and crafting/design.
