    Amanda DeJesus, Veterans’ Advocate

    Amanda DeJesus is a Claims Advocate for Hill and Ponton. She joined the Hill and Ponton family in September of 2014 as an Intake Specialist. She listened to each veteran respectfully and gave them the attention they deserved as she assisted them with the initial steps in our VA claim assistance process. It was then that she discovered her true passion, helping veterans, began. Amanda earned her Associates degree in Criminal Justice and hopes to use that knowledge, combined with her work experience, to make a difference.
