In December 2021, I was promoted—after only two years. Now, I represent veterans in their federal appeals process. Additionally, I review VA claims decisions for errors. I have had many mentors over the years. All have influenced me in different ways and helped me grow the diverse skill set I possess today. I provide representation for veterans in Board of Veterans Appeals Hearings and counsel veterans on Board of Veteran Appeals Procedures. In my current role, I like using my talents to help others and representing veterans in their hearings with federal judges. I learn a lot about federal court proceedings. I may not have much legal training, but I’m still winning cases. Additionally, I review VA claims decisions for errors and provide instructions to veteran service officers on how to make corrections. With an extensive knowledge of the Code of Federal Regulation, I assist the training manager with training conferences and training new hires. I enjoy helping veterans and helping people in general. I am good at it. I enjoy doing it and using my knowledge of government rules and regulations. ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Military Veteran | Aircraft | Aviation | U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) | Inspection | Military Operations | Aircraft Maintenance | Maintenance | Aerospace | Customer Service | Troubleshooting | Team Leadership | Operational Planning | Process Improvement | Training | Avionics | Military Expertise | Program Management | Air Force | Leadership | Management | Veterans | Defense | Information Assurance | National Security | Team Building | Military Training | Security Clearance | Team Leadership Show less

I guide veterans (and their beneficiaries) to ensure a receipt of wide-ranging benefits under existing state and federal laws. Acting as a liaison, I help clients prepare and submit correspondence when they apply for VA compensation and pension benefits. I advocate for veterans and their beneficiaries when dealing with the VA, other VA elements, and organizations that affect their claims. I prepare and submit the correspondence on behalf of clients in response to VA requests for additional evidence to support their claims. Utilizing various electronic data processing systems for claims processing, tracking, and correspondence preparation, I also process appeals in response to VA decisions and represents veterans during hearings. I visit veterans and family members in their homes, hospitals, prisons, and other institutions to provide beneficial assistance to those requiring special accommodations. ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Military Veteran | Aircraft | Aviation | U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) | Inspection | Military Operations | Aircraft Maintenance | Maintenance | Aerospace | Customer Service | Troubleshooting | Team Leadership | Operational Planning | Process Improvement | Training | Avionics | Military Expertise | Program Management | Air Force | Leadership | Management | Veterans | Defense | Information Assurance | National Security | Team Building | Military Training | Security Clearance | Team Leadership Show less
