With over 35 years of professional experience, my tenure as President and CEO at Star Communication Corporation instilled in me a profound understanding of leadership and business management. Now, as General Counsel for the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, my mission is to use my litigation, advocacy, and advising skills to uphold our veterans' rights and interests. My commitment aligns with the department's mission to serve those who have served us, and I bring a wealth of diverse perspectives to our team.In my current role, I leverage my extensive background in legal matters to navigate complex issues related to veterans affairs. The skills I honed while advising elected county officials and managing litigation are instrumental in my daily responsibilities. My focus is on ensuring that the department's policies and practices not only comply with legal standards but also honor our commitment to Oklahoma's veterans.
