I am currently pursuing accreditation as a VA Accredited Claims Agent and intentionally building the knowledge and experience necessary to effectively advocate for veterans and their families.

My interest in veterans law comes from both professional and personal experience. Having worked with service members during transition—and later navigating the VA disability system within my own family—I quickly realized that understanding the regulations and actually building a successful claim are two very different things. Too often, veterans are left trying to fight serious health conditions while also fighting a complicated benefits system.

While my application is pending with the VA Office of General Counsel, I am using this time intentionally. I recently began paralegal studies at Purdue Global University and am focused on learning the practical side of veterans disability advocacy: claim development, evidence strategy, medical nexus support, file organization, and the appeals process.

I am especially interested in learning from attorneys and Accredited Agents who are already doing this work. The VA disability system requires careful preparation, strong documentation, and a deep understanding of both the regulations and the realities veterans face when seeking benefits.

My goal is simple: to build claims the right way from the beginning and to advocate in a way that truly serves the veteran.

If you are working in veterans law and open to sharing insight, mentorship, or perspective on best practices in this field, I would welcome the opportunity to learn from your experience.
