Tiffany Brors is using every hardship to learn how to better serve others 

By Lucy Alred

Tiffany Brors, a U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, mother, grandmother and college student, is dedicated to paving her own path while serving others.

As a two-time combat veteran, Brors has faced challenges few experience. She said those hardships shaped her work ethic and taught her to remain steady in adversity.

“Those experiences changed how I approach everything,” she said. “I’ve learned how to stay grounded and keep moving forward, no matter what.”

While balancing life as a veteran and a mother, Brors pursued her dream of entrepreneurship. She has owned a laundromat and an all-woman landscaping company, founded a feeding-tube company for people with disabilities and helped launch an engineering firm that became licensed in 48 states.

After serving in the Navy and as a government contractor for the U.S. Coast Guard, Brors felt called to support other veterans navigating similar challenges. While living in Florida, she helped establish Women Veteran Warriors, a support group focused on connection and shared experiences.

“I try to make sure others never feel like they have to face their struggles alone,” she said. “Supporting fellow veterans is not just something I do, it’s deeply personal to me.”

One of her proudest accomplishments came through mentoring a fellow veteran who was struggling to support her family. Brors provided flexible work through her business and encouraged her to return to school.

“Now she graduates in May,” Brors said. “I am just so proud of her.”

Brors is also committed to community service. She volunteers with the Tim Tebow Foundation at Night to Shine, an event that celebrates individuals with disabilities.

“Their joy reminds me why compassion and inclusion matter so much,” she said. “This event makes people feel seen and valued.”

She describes the experience as one of the most meaningful parts of her year.

“It’s a room full of people being their genuine selves and experiencing pure joy,” she said. “You don’t find that everywhere.”

In addition to her professional and service commitments, Brors is a full-time college student in the JUMP program. She plans to graduate in December 2028 with a master’s degree in business management, concentrating in government contracting, along with a minor in entrepreneurship.

While her academic focus is management, Brors said her true passion lies in entrepreneurship. She hopes to use her education and experience to help veterans launch and grow small businesses.

A third-generation woman veteran, Brors is motivated by the example she sets for her family. She hopes her journey shows her children and grandchildren that it is never too late to pursue new goals.

“I hope that by watching me go back to school, they see that anything is possible with dedication,” she said.

She also hopes to inspire others who may be considering returning to school later in life.

“It’s not too late to take the first step,” Brors said. “It can be challenging to go back as an older adult, but any time is a good time to start over.”
